Jaysus you'd know it was redbrick with people bottom-posting to emails ;-)
Fair enough if you've got loads of metal to spare to install it on. We've
just virtualised a bunch of dev/qa/prod stuff at work and moved it all out
to Azure. Was just a suggestion. Not sure what the compapp courses are

just a thought that you could offer something different to the members.
best of luck with it
