The new Wintel campaign: It is a myth that anyone needs 100% reliability, imagine what your customers and employees can do while they wait for their Wintel machine/network to come back up. 1. take a coffee break. 2. call home and check on the kids. 3. play computer games on their handheld. 4. browse want adds for new job. 5. call other companies and see if all Wintel machines are down. 6. call Scwab on their cell phone and see if the outage is affecting the companies stock price. 7. make the feng shui in their cubicle more harmonious. 8. ponder the enormity of time lost worldwide to poor reliability. 9. take another coffee break 10. call schwab and lessen your exposure to the companies stock in your 401k. <VGB> I have actually been taken out of the dental chair to assist getting my dentist's Wintel/network back up. My dentist, an amazing 78 year old geek with the coolest dental electronics, is on his third set of Windows dental software hoping to find some stability. It's not just the software, it's OSes that crash and burn with software errors. Reliability isn't something it's everything AFAIK. david
