Delighted to be promoted to the ranks of hoopy frood (-:
Actually Geoff I was not so much worried that the server cannot do its
job (the PCT would be obliged to fix it of it did not), but more that
the strategy not to replace our servers was a reflection of imminent
plans to centralise the data. I do hope I am wrong.
