Notes from a conversation about various and sundry things between myself and Smirk

“We need to set up a server running Cacti [1] on SXXXXXX's network because they're having major network problems. I put the Fluke [2] on their network and it found broadcast storms up the wazoo [3].”

“SXXXXXX? Are you sure it wasn't NXXXXXXXXXX? They're the ones with the networking problems [4].”

“Nope, it was SXXXXXX.”

“Wait! Let me guess … they run Windows?”

“Full Windows shop. Flat network.”

”Of course!”
