    Pradeep, I’m sorry you have Tannin like ECS experiences with Netgear FA311 cards. But like other things, they work fine in the Northern hemisphere.

    "Fleet computer challenge"

    Mercutio, I would be comfortable maintaining 60 machines, each using the ECS K7VTA3. I’ve sold systems using this board and my personal machine has one of these boards with an Athlon Thunderbird 1400C processor. I don’t have any experience with PC Chips like you and Tannin do, so I still...

    If you would go with an integrated solution I could use the Asus A7N266-VM with onboard LAN, Video, and Audio, use the other items I listed (minus the onboard replacements) and come in right at $350.00.

    cas, I have no idea what would enforce this limitation (perhaps it's simply unusually slow performance), but publishing this type of statistic sure speaks poorly of 3COM's hardware/software implimentation for this particular product.

    Those 3COM SOHO cards also have a published limitation of 50 cards on a network.

    That is a difficult price Mercutio. The best I've done is about $390.00. That would take a 60 PC purchase to over $23,000.00. But that would be a 1.1 Ghz Duron system with an Intel NIC (not integrated). Of course, these prices are based on a purchase of 60 + PCs.

    Why do inkjet heads clog?

    I guess after a decade of inhaling large quantities, you get used to it. As a matter of fact, I like the smell of certain inks, especially Toyo and VanSon's CML Oil base. :oops:

    Why do inkjet heads clog?

    Thank you for the link Time, that is a good article. I have always disliked the technology of aqueous inks because of their inherent limitations. The VOCs for solvent based inks are an issue too, although I wonder what the impact the small amount used has on an office environment. As a...

    Hence, KT266A boards are still good solutions for new systems. Only when KT333 prices are the same as KT266A boards is the upgrade worth it, which has already occurred in some situations.

    Coug, even if Tannin was the only one with ECS failures, he'd still feel the same way. Don't bother trying to convince him with everyone elses success.

    Tannins office on OS/2

    I don't think there would be anything wrong with it, but Tannin isn't gonna hang around showing people a museum, and I think that Kristi has enough work to day as it is (Tannin doesn't do much).

    Editing Posts - How much time should we be allowed?

    Let's set this question as a poll. Please remember, our trans-Pacific delay can easily be 5 minutes. Hence, our Oz lads might not see their actual posts for 5 minutes before they have a chance to edit them. Our trans-Atlantic delay has not been determined.

    In-service failures are the worst. But a high amount of DOAs aren't worth the hassle either. The odd DOA happens, but 7 out of 10?
