This is why I accept way less money working for myself, I no longer have the tolerance to not throttle morons.

Or in my case, how my company runs me. :( Long story, but I've been programming on my personal notebook for the company I work for since late last year. My "Development Server" did not have enough HD space to store a copy of our production database (80GB), nor does my work-provided desktop. Good practice? No. A new Development Server has been sitting in a box for over 6 months; I even offered to set it up but there it sits... Thanks to all those who added their thoughts and recommendations on this topic! Update: After 2 hours of meetings on the topic and selecting different options and vendors (Lenovo, Samsung, Dell and HP were the finalists), the whole thing has been set aside - just one day after we are told they want to get them right away and to decide quickly. Apparently the thought now is that since the company is going to virtual desktops somewhere around year end or early next year that we really don't need powerful notebook computers. 'Not happy' is putting it mildly.

I've done two on-sites in the past week, and spent the weekend in Maine hacking on laptops with 33 other nerds. Having my full development environment with me... priceless. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/0bac2c1927422843b2c121c8b41684af48294...@dfw1mbx24.mex07a.mlsrvr.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
