Geesh, I hope she's quite hot.  :-)

I've never considered setting up a dialin server to hook a woman
before... 'tis quite creative.  ;-)

Yeah, I had to do it on my last batch of computers due to some nVidia
driver funkiness (hey, they aren't just funky for Linux!).  It cost me
about five minutes per computer over an eight-hundred number on a landline.

I suppose if I were billing for those five minutes individually, it cost
me about $60 per computer... but I think that's pushing things a bit.  :-)
