[Tech] Introductions

[Peery, Owen]

I'm having trouble getting this script to work. I'm not sure if I'm putting
in spaces, or no spaces, sometimes I get an error message, sometimes I get
a message that does not look like an error message. I restart the machine,
but no guest login appears. Perhaps when Christian comes out next week, we
can try one together.
