I didn't intend to give you a tongue-lashing, and I'm sorry if I  
offended you. I was just trying to help and suggest a better way.

Obviously, I didn't know that the machines are in diverse locations,  
and obviously that makes a unified strategy impossible. I fear there's  
very little you  can do, except log in remotely and regularly,  
allowing you to minimise update hassles and become familiar with  
issues as they are current.
