Replying to: dusti (Apr 16, 2002 3:53 pm) What os do you use mostly, Linux?   I agree with you mostly on Microsoft business practices, however I think in the long run the standardization that windows brings is good for computers. I remember the old days of trying to install hardware and software when standards were not that rigid. I will gladly take plug and play and windows api's in winxp over that mess.   I think win2000 and winxp are where win95 should have been. Software and hardware work and they are stable. I tried setting up a linux rig a few years ago and it was a mess. Very hard to find drivers, maybe that is better now.

#346 of 391 At work it is... by tboner1965 Sep 04, 2002 (3:41 am)
Replying to: dusti (Apr 16, 2002 3:53 pm) ...Solaris. I have a mixture of Winbloze, Solaris and Linux at home. My laptop dual boots Solaris 2.6 and Windows   I primarily use Windows for websurfing, e-mail and games for my children (nothing that requires a full bore game rig) In fact, I believe the fastest processor in my home is a Celeron 766.   I just finished installing one our new E12000 systems for the US Air Force. Nice rig. Maximum configuration is 52 processors and 288GB of RAM.   Typical configuration is 36 processors with 144GB of RAM and 9 IO boats that contain 4 IO cards each. It can be divided into anywhere between one and nine seperate domains.   The E15000 is essentially twice the E12K with 106 processors max and 576GB max, but typically 72 procs with 288GB RAM and of course twice the max number of IO boats and domains.   Most will not be running this at home as it requires 6 30A power circuits and some serious climate control. Not to mention it is 3000# fully loaded in the shipping crate. (Weighs a bit less when all the packing material is removed.)   See all the details at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SunFire15K/spec.html   And I believe they are cheaper than the E10000 was when it was released about 5 years ago. (Bringing it back onto topic)   TB Thinking maybe my next car needs to be the automotive equivalent of Linux, the kit car

Replying to: dusti (Apr 16, 2002 3:53 pm) Was at the used car dealer across street yesterday. The importer guy was not there...He is in Canada buying 4x4 trucks to bring over ! I mentioned to the mgr. about GM cutting off warranty work on Can. vehicles. He said "since when" ?). He did mention that Chrysler is/has cut off warranty repaIRS. On used cars too ! He says he don't know how much it cost to bring  them over. Yea right..I think he was trying to give me the dust off. Loopholes closing quick !.geo

Replying to: dusti (Apr 16, 2002 3:53 pm) My company distributes building products - manufacturers add features and better warranties with no fear of raising prices and/or cutting our margin. Unless of course their customer has an orange or blue logo.   Hardware/Software/Electronics are some of the few businesses where a drop in price is expected by the end user. Technology is expensive to develop at first then gradually costs drop as production increases.
