Re: [NF] New mini computers
Naw. The laptop came with 160G HD and most of the data is just "proof of concept" and demo and development type stuff. For real production data, that goes on another server and other storage. In upgrading storage, there are lots of options. If you need RAM and your machine won't take any more, you're SOL.

Re: [NF] New mini computers
Virtual machines, MySQL, PostgreSQL, REALbasic. All while running Firefox and Thunderbird on a MEPIS desktop. The more RAM, the better to keep things running peppy. I'm wondering if I should try installing Vista in a VM. I guess I'll have to, before too long.

Ultra Mobile PC's(UMPC)? Yes, they're nice-- I've tried a few that my boss got for prototyping, and I think we've sold a few. I love them mostly because it means we can leave our PocketPC solution by the wayside and not have to deal with the flakey pocketPC OS anymore. :-) The UMPC's are heavy for their size, but generally I like them. Our application is Restaurant POS, so when a customer really wants waitresses to carry around a mobile terminal, this is our solution now(formerly pocketPC's using terminal services with some customized code I used to remove borders, scale properly, etc.). -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [NF] New mini computers
I was very tempted to purchase a mini PC, but went with a laptop instead. One downside seemed to be the maximum RAM that the mini PCs can currently take; 1G. I wasn't going to buy anything that didn't handle 2G of RAM, preferably 4G. Was the show demoing a Shuttle, or AOpen system? Koobox has some Linux based mini PCs. http://koobox.com/ NewEgg.com has some bare boned systems that you can build up yourself that would be really sweet. -Kevin MB Software Solutions wrote: > Was watching "Live with Regis and Kelly" just now (while working on some > code of course!) and the tech guy was demonstrating the new mini PCs > running a full Windows operating system. > > Even though Foxpro wasn't able to be run on handhelds in the earlier > days, with the advancement/evolution of these new wave of "mini PCs" > we'll be able to design as usual and have it fully functional on them! > To me, that's very encouraging! > ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

[NF] New mini computers
Was watching "Live with Regis and Kelly" just now (while working on some code of course!) and the tech guy was demonstrating the new mini PCs running a full Windows operating system. Even though Foxpro wasn't able to be run on handhelds in the earlier days, with the advancement/evolution of these new wave of "mini PCs" we'll be able to design as usual and have it fully functional on them! To me, that's very encouraging! -- Michael J.
