Ditto, found it very enjoyable, for me it also drove home how simple* and 
convenient* things are when you have enough money ... I'm still deciding if 
I want a house or an AS5300 ... at least I don't have to buy 2 houses for 
redundancy :)

What are the chances they already have an internal mirror on one/several of 
the staff machines?
