Hi Andy,
First of all, congratulations on securing a new job. I hope
it all goes very well for you.
I hate to follow up with a note of caution, but it could
save your potential grief later on.
May I suggest you check with your new employer as to where
you stand legally in terms of the Data Protection Act and
such like. I know there are strict rules and laws about
recording conversations which may later be used for various
purposes.
There may also be implications regarding storing material on
a PC, especially on which is not within the direct control
of your employer.
I don't want to sound alarmist, but it's better to be safe
than sorry.
Good luck.
George.
