[Year 12 IPM] The Games and IT

[Kevin Edwardes]

Have a happy Comm Games Holiday all. 
I'm going to the full dress rehearsal tonight. What a wonderful IS they
have put in place. It is a tech geeks dream. Hi and low tech multiple
systems for everything. Cat 5 cable running audio, lighting &
communications. High tech security and communications. Computers running
lots of things. 
If only I still had the Top Level Security clearance along with that access
all areas pass.
Honestly, this is a great IT case study or should that be IS case study.

Cheers,
Kevin
