Your life really doesn't sound so bad, it all seems like normal jobs an IT
guy working for an international company should be doing. Try getting up at
4am, sitting on a plane for 8 hours, then going to a customer meeting for 2
hours, then having dinner (in a time zone 6 hours behind where you started),
then having a 3 hour conference call with non-English-speaking people, then
going to bed 24 hours after you got up, then working 16 hours a day for a
week. Want to swap?

A normal IT guy working for an international company would presumably be
person wouldn't be considered utterly incompetent every single time any
kind of minor technical glitch occurs. But maybe I'm just kidding myself...

What's the pay packet like? :-P
(That's rhetorical of course. I wouldn't travel to a foreign country if
you paid me.)

I have a solution to your PDF problems installed on my computer:
It's called Scansoft PDF Professional and lets you double print PDFs and other
nice things.

There's a plugin for OpenOffice 3.x to do just this.

I'd be surprised if "PDF manipulation software" included everything you
needed to write documents in PDF. That would be "word processor/image
manipulator/font editor/PDF manipulation software" to me.
Why not write a new XSLT to take the XML from backup exec and output
something a word processor can handle, like RTF or LaTeX or something?
That's why BE is giving it to you as XML.

I was thinking something similar, but unlike you, I can't go into details
about what last week held for me.

That's one of the things they fixed on Vista. It's really obvious now how to
use a different input mechanism to log in.

I can understand different users having different language settings. But
the friggin' keymap?? HOW can that be different for each user?!
