I was able to locate another of the MS keyboards so the immediate crisis is over. I did stop at my local best buy (sic) and the 20 something wanted to sell me a chicklet-keyed wanna be laptop keyboard, as obviously I wasn't a gamer.

Yeah, like trying to change my phone number at one of my banks. They need to call to verify it's really me. On the number they have. Which I want to change. Because it's no longer valid.

Ah, yes. So-called "dress codes" must have exceptions. In a Club of which I was once the Chairman of the operating company, a member was a retired naval commander. One day he brought a colleague as a guest, a still-active naval officer dressed in immaculate white naval uniform, perfectly creased trousers, etc, etc. The bartender of the Members' Lounge refused to allow him entry, as a naval uniform, at least in the Australian navy, does not include a tie. Fortunately the duty manager intervened and all was well.

Not enough police to enforce it. ..pretty useless as a national policy; it will be back. Then what? Another 3 months?

In Windows 10 - the default shutdown is in fact hibernate. If you doubt this, do a search for "enable fast start up". Here's a link to get you started. The Pros and Cons of Windows 10’s “Fast Startup” Mode[^] I find that I need to restart every now and then because docking and undocking on my machine causes Windows to lose it's marbles. Slowly it begins not to redraw sections of the screen, starting with menu's. If it was Windows 3.1 I'd describe it as running out of resources. Amazing how far we've come.

Of course, that still requires my ability to access Azure which was not fun on a mobile, last time I had to do it! Having worked through a couple of DRP exercises, I'll take "not fun" as a vast improvement over "not able to".

Sure, now they say no authorization is required because it is internal-only. That's often the convenient statement of the moment. However, reality often diverges from the agreements of the moment. I would get something in writing, signed by a CIO or executive of your choice, saying that no security is required. This is because when this gets hacked and your database is trashed you need to be able demonstrate you were ordered to allow open access. This is the classic case of a cover-your-backside requirement because you have been asked to do something absurd. "They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Well, there moving on as apart from not moving anymore ;P , or there's moving on as in passing on X| . It's the former I am hoping for! :cool: - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Why Type = 'Produce' became item.Type.Contains("Produce")? Shouldn't it become item.Type == "Produce" ?
