You know, the thing is, I looked through my drive tonight at downloadable
software I've bought over the years..



I have bought some downloadable software lately, also. You do have to watch 
out. Sometimes the deal in a store is better than buying it directly from 
the factory and downloading it or having it shipped. I hate it when the 
manufacturer refuses to sell a product and turns all sales over to third 
party distributors who charge what the market will bear. All those 
distributors have to do is get together and lock down a minimum price. Back 
around 2002 when I believed in Norton, my business became a Symantec 
Partner. Symantec restricted sale of their product to a handful of approved 
distributors. All of these charged more than I could buy the product in 
local stores. How was I to mark it up and compete? It ran me to an 
unapproved distributor. Simply put, a small business can not legally buy 
hardly any product at wholesale cheaper than the large stores sell it at 
retail, especially software.


reality is, in the end, I like buying downloadable software because it 
means

that I can organize it as I see fit into discs as I see fit.



I keep all of my software installation files on my hard drive which I keep 
backed up in at least 3 other places.




I'm really struggling with why I would run to a store and pickup a box.


Unless you save money the only other reason is to stimulate the paper 
industry.


All of the posts in response to my post have been very informative.

Thank you,

Chuck

Only for the manual, which is becoming extinct anyway.

"F1" or google.com, if half the users would learn & use them, we 
wouldn't need basic TS or paper manuals!

hEY Chris,
Don't know if you know but SureThing Lable software now supports the r200

and they have a bunch of nice downloadable Themes, backgrounds and

Not that Epson's software is not fully functional, just that there is a
bit
more to the SureThing package.

I just picked up a R200 at CompUSA yesterday. I got the last one at my 
local store. You can check inventory on line.


 They are 99 minus 10 and two 20 dollar rebates ... so 49 plus tax. So 
nothing really. Price is good through Friday the 17th.

[H] SCSI Card suggestions

[Chris Reeves]

OK, we picked up a set of Dell DLT1 Powervaults cheap.  We
did so to deploy a few to set locations; however, I’m unsure of what SCSI
Card/Cable to recommend to go with these.. since these are external LVD/SE
devices, I could us regular LVD card and run the internal LVD connection
external with a bracket; but I’m still looking for specific ones to
recommend.  


Right now, in the box one will be connected to is a Dell PERC3, which we could
use, we have the cable to go from one to the other; but I’m unsure if
that’s something I want to do either.

 

Any recommendations for card/cable combination for a single
purpose device?  Ie, nothing else will be attached but this as an external
unit.

Went to CompUSA today to pick up a R200 on sale...and the Overland Park 
store was OOS. The salesperson suggested I try going to Best Buy (across the 
street) and doing a PM, but I figured my chances were pretty low, so I just 
went home...


Oh well, I'll try again next timethough Microcenter supposedly carries 
them

RE: [H] SCSI Card suggestions

[Hayes Elkins]

Almost all Dell poweredges with DLT/LTO units ship with an adaptec 29160. 
Very little problems I've seen. I've never seen a powervault on a PERC, 
those are really intended for RAID arrays although in theory any SCSI device 
should work.

Mwave has them but for $87.97 at 
 while 
Microcenter lists them at $99 
 
& BB has them listed for $99 
 
& CC has them at $79 on sale 
 
so if you can't wait then CC would be your best bet.


Have fun.
