Nandor on IT

The NZ Herald has a good interview with Nandor on IT issues. I did have to laugh at his battles with The Parliamentary Service to get Firefox installed on his PC. PS are very risk averse to any non standard software going on the system. Of course Firefox should be standard!

When I worked there somehow I ended up with a user profile which gave me administrator rights to local PCs. This made me very popular with my colleagues as I could install MSN Messenger for them, despite the best attempts of PS to ban it.

On more important matters, good to see Nandor focusing on local loop issues. Very much in agreement there. Not so keen on a hardware levy though.
