NZ IT "in" joke.

Re. Defense, it was in 95. It was the first implementation of NT4.0 in the world. We used a pre-release build and made it work as well as developing functional IPX connectivity to seamlessly migrate from the Novell 2.51 Naval and Air Force infrastructure and we also developed a precursor of RIS for the desktop build. The server build, migration process, and desktop rebuild process were developed in 8 weeks.

Serious question: sounds like a bunch of risky decisions - for something like defence to make. How'd they justify it?

I thought I'd stumbled onto the "Let's all speak fucking gibberish" site by mistake.


Is it just me that failed to get any of those jokes

The thread title says it all. Sorry it wasn't relevant to the almighty motherland.

Now, now Jim. No need to be like that.

The initial joke I didn't get because I'm not over there, but the ensuing posts spiralled into amazing techno-babble.

Please be nice to me cos when I do get there I might buy you a pint.....................or whatever the hell it is you use.


And I thought the bananas might indicate it was a tongue in cheek kind of posting but obviously that was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over your head.

ciao for now from the almighty motherland
