We've been asked to come up with a new name for our remote deployment system
Theres a bottle of fine wine in it for the chosen suggestion.

One of the guys has just said "I believe strongly in calling a spade a spade" Is it just me or is that quote a tad racist.

It's not just you.
But it does indicate that you're a tad racist.

We remote deploy operating systems and all software remotely over the network, allowing us to rebuild entire suites of PC's and Macs very quickly without getting up off our arses, leaving more time for internet porn and B3ta
