True story ...
I arrive at an exhibition hall where we are handling registration for a
client who is an exhibitor. In addition to the registration software, we're
supplying and setting up the hardware. I turn up with six PCs, six monitors,
and six printers.
"Right", says I, "where are the power points?"
"Over there", says the client, and points to one, count it, one single
solitary power point, over the far side of the exhibition hall, well beyond
the reach of any of my cables.
How do I get a power point, indeed! :-(
