Re: list delays
I have followed the instructions to unsubscribe from this list and I continue to receive new messages on new topics from the list. I want out because some of you are harassing me via telephone calls. Please remove me manually. Also, I am continuing to receive new communications from local businesses who have received communications through their own online forms requesting their services for my company. Additionally, someone is signing this Email address up for porn and gay websites. I'm sure that some of you have worked in the legal community and understand the legal definition of harassment. I will ask you all again to please stop. I shouldn't have had to ask you the first time and I surely shouldn't have to ask again. Please remove my Email address from your hateful, bigotted discussion list. Thank you. (Is there any way that I can be nicer about this?)

Over my also very long association with this and other techie lists (especially Peter's old Exchange list) I've found many, many things being taken offlist. Of course IIRC almost all of those things have involved consuming copious amount of adult beverages (and yes, we have actually caused certain bars to run out of specific brands of said beverages). Some of those offlist contacts have become lifelong friends (even unto death, RIP JRH, Mr. Houge, and Mr. Southworth). I've also worked with many of the same people either directly (various list members have worked for me before) or via various consulting arrangements. That being said, there are no masters here. There is no secret cabal. I've only seen personal types of comments when A) they are actually good friends with the person and are just yanking their chain, or B) that person has been such a douche bag that it appears that it's the only way to get them to listen (most still don't). Being a real person here has had a significant impact on my personal and professional life. If you think how you conduct yourself on some techie list doesn't matter, you are sadly mistaken. The good news is pretty much everyone I've personally encountered here and on other tech lists (probably 50-75 people) are very forgiving and welcoming people. My recommendation is to be a Real Person (tm) and consider the feedback people give you. It also helps if you buy a round when you do meet list members in person.

My client wanted to upgrade 10 of their 17 PC’s (their PC’s are 24yrs old) to speed things up –but it was their SBS server that was getting flattened (SATA drives running Exchange and SQL!), I said if they spent that money on a new server instead (old was is a PE840) the’d see ROI in under six months. Yesterday was their first day on the their new server and one maintenance job they would run at the end of the day went from 20 minutes to just under 5. That alone is 1hr 15mins/week gained for that one employee. ~$100/mo saved right there. If employee’s are idle waiting for the system to do something, that’s generally time they are not adding value.

How much downtime/lost productivity. It's dependent on the situation. As I said, our computers are in the hands of revenue producers. When they're down, they aren't billing their time. They either have to make it up (morale issue) or it is lost productivity (money issue). At current billing rates, it doesn't take long for an hour or two of downtime to justify some additional upfront expense. If these are office drones, it's a bit harder to justify it from a cost-benefit perspective. YMMV.

Re: Favorite corporate PCs?
I've made the case with the local vendor that we need to buy a motherboard that can be built across many machines, for many months. They've agreed to make it happen as best as they could (technology changes.) Plus, they gave us the hard drive image on DVD so we could image them ourselves if needed. While I can understand the standardization issue, what doesn't make sense is to buy a hundred computers, then two years later, buy the exact same motherboard for sake of standardization. At that point you're buying old technology. Make the case with a local vendor and if they can't agree to give you the same motherboard for the next year or two then go to another local shop. Rinse, repeat.
