[ale] OT got my first job as a Computer Professional *kinda*

Greg,

You are obviously a professional with a lot of experience
with real evidence and proper process.

I'll contend that if your snapshots and casual notetaking of jobs done 
ever get to court, you have already lost. You have lost valuable time and 
money, and a relationship with the employer/jobber. In a case where what 
you are doing is less than many thousands of dollars, it's usually not 
worth going after.

Taking a few pictures is a good first step, worth doing,
and will often enhance or re-enforce existing communications.
It's good "CYA" practice and may help you get paid for such jobs.

But as I am not a lawyer, or judge, or law enforcement professional...
I have no idea how it would be properly admissible evidence
and would only hope that it would never have to go that far.

(to be on-topic just a little): The picture might show the unit, installed 
as instructed, without the "Linux Rules" and "Linuxgruvin" stickers 
plastered all over it, and without the button that ejects a Linux CD for 
free.

How those got there.. well.. I have no idea. ;)
