I think because there was no 11 marker question, they made it extra harder. Wtf is bcs and concept keyboard. There are mostly good thinks about projector and computer so why would they ask for disadvantages :angry:

British computing society. They are a professional body so oversee that area of industry. Two advantages of any professional body but also Bcs is that the network manager would have achieved professional status at some point and also they have a say in making industry legislation and codes of conduct

Bloody hell, I ended up writing about trade unions to protect the network manager, or that if he needs any advice he can go to them

ME too. Read through the paper six times to double check I'd missed nothing. Didn't even feel like there were 120 marks, more like 80.. Great paper though.

The first two pages i found tough. What did people put for the one with random numbers like 085647 then 2 ways of hows its data , without mentioning its meaningless, raw facts and figures or unprocessed! as the question said not to.
