My experience working for people who have support contracts has been that convincing your fancy support people that an intermittent problem needs more than a reboot is usually just as hard (sometimes harder) than just fixing the problem myself, so I keep spares on-hand. On the other hand, when your power supply catches fire or the machine is otherwise broken in a way that a non-technical person can see as broken, both dell and HP support is excellent. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
