the UU (Uppsala University) AD-Master, and I worship him. He most of the time
can fix the obscure AD-problems I have from time to time (or when I don't have
the priv's to do it) as well as point me in the likely right direction for a
DIY-fix, if he can't fix it right away for me. 8-)

Of course. I usually go for free tools as well, whenever possible. Don't have
the budget to buy everything I need. 8-)

Ah. 8-)
