I don't have to "rely on people to update during the spring and especially
winter breaks" since I'm the only one who does the upgrades, and I can
usually depend on myself. ;)

Of course, this doesn't scale well...  Fortunately I only have 80 machines
to worry about, so it is no big deal.  If I had to do this in such a short
time period with say 200+ machines, then we'd have a problem...
