Thanks for your advices.

I was looking for differences between 78s/62s, I can't find anything but size 
and weight, allowing the 78s to float. As I'm quite often kayaking, it may be a 
good point... but not as cruciel as sensitivity or ease of use in conjunction 
with your great soft ;)

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
