Okay, so we're hiring a graphic artist. In a company of engineers and manufacturing people, Macs are not exactly commonplace (I have one in my office that I bought so I could better relate to customers when they send in art, and after "using" the darn thing for a while, I no longer felt it was as i

Slightly changing mouse orientation?

2008-10-07 Thread Evan Brastow
Okay, bear with me for a moment. I just bought what I think is kind of a cool mouse... the Microsoft Arc. It's actually meant to be a portable mouse (it folds, ) but I like it for my desktop because it's lightweight and easy to grip and move. The problem is, it's not *quite* oriented correctly

HOW can you be itching to get out of New England!?

Corporate antivirus recommendation

Hi folks, I know this is not an unusual request, but just thought I might get some updated opinions from people. I'm thinking of re-evaluating our allegiance to Trend Micro for desktop antivirus. Not that they've done anything wrong, just think it's time to take a look around and see if newer o

Websense Enterprise vs. Websense Express

I'm feeling dumb today. Which is not a change from any other day, really. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an article or document that details the differences between Websense Enterprise and Websense Express? I can't even seem to find a comparison at Websense's own website. We're a small compan

Assurance Data?

Hi guys, Anyone else get a call and a quote lately from a company called "Assurance Data" with regard to your Websense renewal? Their quote came in $2000 less than CDW's quote, but I've never heard of them, and their sales guys seem a smidge aggressive. Anyone have any feedback about this compa

Hi Sherry, Thanks for the article. It seems that most of the tapes mentioned in the article are fairly old standards. The closest for my application, LTO2, shows a life of greater than 30 years if I archive 10 GB/weekly. Now, of course, the reason I'm leaning toward this drive is the ability no

Hi Sean, Thanks very much for the reply. No big deal about the media. I can deal with buying seven new tapes. I'm primarily interested in making sure I end up with a reputable brand, and I never see much mention of Tandberg. I've had a couple of Overland loaders with good results, but the Tandb

Hi guys, I'm looking at getting a new auto changer, so I'm thinking LTO-4, and I'm wondering if anyone has good/bad things to say about Tandberg drives? I realize they are formerly Exabyte, and Exabyte seems to be (in my feeble mind) a pretty big name in the world of tape drives. I'm looki
