Fellow Mappers; I have a 21" high resolution monitor and used to have problems seeing the keyboard and screen clearly. Then I tried progressive index "bifocals". They work great if the optometrist sets them up right. I can glance down and see the keyboard clearly (although I've learned to

Othman; RF design, regardless of access technology, is usually performed using a tool specifically designed for that purpose, such as Planet, Wizard, Romulus or CellCAD. However, MapInfo is very useful in planning coverage in wireless systems in that by using a host of available databases,

Laith; Keep everything on the server and keep all of the printer, drive mapping and directory structures consistent. We operate over a 100BaseT network without trouble, unless someone starts bending the "rules" on how tables are created named, stored, etc. To develop our "rules" we outlined

Listers; As an option, you may want to encourage your associates to use ZIP files for e-mail attachments as an extra level of security. That way, if you have concerns about the cleanliness of a file, you can unzip, scan and open the attachment on an "off network" computer. Best regards, Bruce
