So low tech kept the whole thing running smoothly. Kind of ironic when everyone tells you that you have to install all the latest gadgets to make a few bucks!
Of course I relied on the ITguys that I paid and hired to keep shtumm.

By the way, McMahon was a bit of a smartass and lasted less than a year at the firm.
