Not my experience, I run Dells, IBMs and homebrew systems (based on top line components) and I have many reliable dell desktops that I really can't believe are still working away perfectly and servers that are ancient, the only boxes that I have found to be truly unreliable are the IBM 1RU servers, I've had an inordinate amount of them die after only 5 years service. The system that I am working on right now had a supply date of June 2007 and many of my displays are older than that, in fact I should look into my old work horse HP2065's as they have an hour meter for the screen power and back-lighting (curious as they all still calibrate very well). -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
