Funny you should mention EFPS (or EXCDS as it's known here)

Yes it fell over. I also believe you guys have been getting a version of the "Voice Switch" touch screen comms system we use here as well. it died as well.

DP, welcome to the lovely world of ACCURATE journalism.

You really think that's a photo of a person who works at Winnipeg Centre!?! (He hasn't got enough warm clothes on to start )

Justcoolen - this can only be one person. Check your PMs!
