You wouldn't believe the number of small businesses I've dealt with in my neck of the woods (not that far from Silicon Valley) that rely completely on their IT for their business, yet have no redundancy, backup, or desire to budget for those things. They just don't want to think about it, or they don't think they can afford it. They purchase new computers from Dell, and then install the off-the-shelf software they need, and run different versions of such software on the same network, and just ignore signs of trouble when they occur, or if they can't ignore the signs of trouble they call in help to fix the symptom, but never want to think about making a more reliable foundation. Unbelievable. Lucky for them hard drives are as reliable as they are these days. But every "computer problem" costs them real $$$ in lost/unhappy customers, time and money spent fixing it, etc. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ 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/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
