Still, worse places to be on business - excellent scenery to be seen when out for a run on the eastern shoreline Oh and Redeye Bar and Grill is great if you can expense it!

Seems a shame to waste the offer.
As a big favour I will go in your place with of course a donation to the charity of your choice.

I have a computer and IPad with several diplomas in IT for Word ,Excel and Database.
I am certain if I had a Microsoft Account Manager we would be best buddies.
Is that enough ?
I can always blag it and impersonate you.

Rather far, unfortunately. Rhode Island, USA.

Was trying to help soften the blow for the OP, travelling to NYC.

OP is ok, gets lots of freebies.
It's me you should be concentrating on .
Not in IT = No Freebies.

As the host is Microsoft, perhaps this is connected to the recent advertisements which state, Aston Martin now use Microsoft (something).

Office 365? Ads all over the tube with a shoddy outline of a DB9. Poor form for Microsoft, but i'd take it all back if I got invited to learn otherwise
