Well, I guess that is what happens when you get over a certain size. I just hate getting those wannabe computer guys that say silly things like "Oh, you just install it on each machine by putting the CD in, and clicking next,next,next,finish on each machine" and trying to explain why that does work on a large scale. We acutally run diskless clients (fat clients) for everything now. It really makes backups much easier to do, as every machines gets a full nightly backup every night, going back a full year+. I avoid GPO, PDC's and most of the windows based stuff now, as it is just too much of a pain. On the plus side, I no longer have to deal with any more Novell netware either Sorry for the hijack. |

Once again Google to the rescue. What normally would have taken me 2 hours was accomplished in 10 minutes thanks to someone else fixing Microsoft's terrible product. |

Yeah.... I've conducted some testing in that regard.... But not from 12', that would require a ladder and I'd have to explain to my boss why I climbed a ladder just to drop the Toughbook.

My actual project was to source tough laptops, so they had to go through all the tests I could perform. The larger CF29 and CF30's are not too bad, but the CF 19!! I can't even fit my fingers on the keys

My main job right now is managing group policy, login scripts and image "issues". And like you, I haven't had to play with Novell in years!

Yeah, mines a CF19. I have no issues, but the guys using them do.

I use a toughbook, too, the CF-W7. Took awhile to get used to the smaller keyboard, but what a great laptop! I heard you can drive over it with a pickup truck - LOL (I don't plan to test that). What sold me was a) the weight - very portable at 2 lbs, and b) the disk drive - no flimsy slide out tray.
I'll confess that I often use it hooked up to an LCD monitor - the tiny screen is too hard to look at for 8 hours a day Last edited by Lydia; 04-22-2009 at 11:49 PM. Reason: spelling |
