The supplier
Supplier: "Hey Pete, I came in at 7:00 am to get your five laptops out. I have just finished (9:05 am) and was getting ready to box them up and realised you wanted 32bit!"
Me: "You're an idiot, you've wasted the morning. Best bet, re-install, clone it, and image the others."
Supplier: "Yeah."
The Engineer
Engineer: "Pete, all four of the machines have installed fine but SAGE refuses to install on the fifth one. I've tried it from USB, an external drive, I even replaced the ROM drive! I dunno what we are going to do?"
Me: "You're an idiot, all five machines are the same hardware aren't they? So clone one of the four and then put that image on the fifth!"
Engineer: "Oh yeah."
I am surrounded by amateurs!

A concerning note. Windows 10 has not been activating for us all the time when we use drive images and clones (we use CloneZilla). Been doing it for years, but recent images of Windows 10 don't want to activate. We reinstall from the Windows 10 USB installer or just run the clone again... and THEN it will usually activate.
Windows :(

Yeah, I believe, at the moment, you cannot clone W10

No? I thought it was possible. We have a standard image that we install across the Lenovo laptops we are using. Different image for each model.....I should recheck with one of the guys in IT.

IT wars: Attack of the clones ;)
I have memories of installing Office in multiple laptops, from floppies! Don't know if it was viable to use drive images back then

I still have Windows 95 on (50 odd?) floppies here at the office. :-D

I've told people on G+, FB, Twtr that I bought a nice guitar with my earnings. Still not much interest. Maybe I need to buy a car or something. Almost could if I cashed it all out.

I content myself with the view that a lot of the 'circle' of people I know on social media have a narrow scope of subject matter. Predominantly Linux or Pi stuff so they might struggle on Steemit where a broad spectrum of subject matter is probably the most successful formula.
Christ, I sound like a salesman? ;-)
