Sentience in a seed-pod

And now an entry in tribute to Kathy Reimers:

Yesterday I installed all the software on six computers for the training, but only four people turned up today. I need to investigate an issue with different versions of SQL server that prevents me from restoring a database. I also cannot connect to my remote mailbox, so if you have been trying to get hold of me that way think again. I asked Mark to get Reuben to send the IP address, but that didn't work either.
