What else have I done this week?

Well this pile of "risen from the dead" PCs was a bit of a result...
The whole process was much speeded up by a disk clone utility that did the job nicely: HDClone3.8

Once the HDD was cloned all that remained was to hack the OEM windows key to the one on the box and rename it to a known one on the network... good as new... although largely untested in the wild as yet, but I remain hopeful! :)
