Crikey. You go for morning tea at a friend’s new unit* and then a lunchtime concert, only to get home to discover there’s a worldwide IT armageddon. And you hadn’t even noticed. All I can say is that I’m lucky I’m no longer working for my former employer, which is — like most of the New Zealand government — running almost entirely on Microsoft systems.

(* ‘Unit’: a small dwelling that is part of a group of attached abodes.)
