Re: pcAnywhere 9.0

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it's not entirely relevent but we had a bit of fun with a PC that was 
connected to the AS/400 by PC Anywhere; we would wait until the 
"consultant" was using it to do what he had insisted on it being installed 
for by watching the local PC (connected to the AS/400) to see when he 
connected.

When bored we would "nudge" the mouse pointer slightly off the things he 
was trying to click on. He would move the pointer back and we would nudge 
it away again every now and then. We had great fun picturing his face and 
frustration as we slowed down his work.

I guess we just have small minds :)

Cheers
