we have one at work and it's a huge help. in practice the sliding platform on it doesn't help that much as we don't leave space between the servers for it to slide into, but just having the ability to get a flat surface to the exact right height that you need for getting the server in and out of the rack and then being able to raise/lower it to a convienient height to work on or slide onto other transportaion is a huge help. It allows one person to rack a server where before it would take 2-3 (and only that few because you can't fit more near the rack) it's one of those things that seems expensive, but pays for itself pretty quickly in time saved (completely ignoring the issue of backs saved) David Lang _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
