Well steve, it's a lot more than just a fan. That point was beaten to death. It is just an example. Systems go down, and when they do, it can be disasterous. When a client that's used mainly for data transactions goes down no big deal. When a desktop used for productivity goes down.... In all of your years managing thousands of systems you mean to tell me you've never had a hard drive fail? That's why people make backups. Gee, wouldn't it be neat if hard drive failures could be predicted and a warning message be sent to the user and administrator? This technology is used in servers today, you'll see it in low end desktops soon. There's many more examples. These aren't useless and frivolous technologies for business PC's. Yes, the Longhorns are toast if they play the Aggies this year. Next week is it? No chance for a Texas victory. Think I'll write naked calls against the Longhorns<ggg> MEATHEAD
