Anyone's telepathy working well at the moment? http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic830993-5-1.aspx

Mine's working great.... here, let me try.... I sense, a question... with little or totally vague input...

How'm I doing?

I always forget this one. How do you flip the "run faster" switch to the on position in SQL Server?

You mean the turbo button on the 286 series computers?

I think crystal balls work better than ouji boards. Especially when you drop them on someone's foot to emphasize a point.

The switch I use to make mine run faster is the power switch. Turn it on, it flies. turn it off, no so much.

Dropping only provides limited emphasis (terminal velocity <> maximum velocity). I prefer to throw or launch the ball for emphasis.:cool:
