One of the reasons I joined a group practice with practice manager (other
than myself) to worry about it.         
I have realised now why I was so "interested" in computing.    Had to be to
do it all myself in the country.

Yes I love the ways that computers "save me time".

Came in on my off Saturday and started at 12h00PM - did network maintenance
and backups to make sure server and all six workstations were as efficient
and clean of bugs as possible - too about 3 hours Then started 3.6 update -
took another 6 hours. Tried to fix the PKI error - no luck

Then went home and tried to install 3.6 on home server where I restore
backups - no luck - same error - gave up after 2 1/2 hours - sent e-mails to
all who could help.

Sunday morning I get advice from Peter M on how to fix PKI - back to work
after church and only takes 30min to fix that issue and check.

Monday Peter has to log in and fix our back-up system - HCN changed database
names with the update and the scripts are broken. he spents ? 
how many hours trying to fix the home machine but we then realise that my
harddrive needs to be uncompressed as the isntall does not work on a
compressed drive.

I get home about 9PM last night and do the uncompress - 3hours later I can
install the update.

Restore system still does not work due to reasons that are way beyond my IT
skills/knowledge so Peter M will fix that.

So lets add up: I spent 12h on my off weekend and another two hours last
night - all unpaid. In addition I will owe my It support several hours of
labour.

So glad this computerised system saves time and money - NOT !!
