Listener Mark tries out for our vacant position. Chris tells us how excited he got when he was told he had a "box from Aruba" waiting for him, and it turned out to be 1 AP. He also tells us his woes about his Lenovo 100e Gen2 Chromebooks (and Josh took that as a chance to bag on Lenovo Chromebooks). Josh talks about spending several days in training sessions for lights/sound/rigging for his school's new Performing Arts Center. Chris also talks about a vendor telling him about Cat1 network hardware via MIBs and ERate.

Cory tells us about his new network attached battery backups. Josh poses two issues emailed to us from anonymous listeners, one about a parent fighting a Chromebook damage fee and the other so wild you have to hear it to believe it.
