That is what we will be trying to do in the next few years... de-cluttering our lives. The kids have gone... (There have been threats to move back which we have ignored.) We simply have to get rid of 'great junk' unless we plan to open a museum and move to a smaller house unless we plan to do a 'bed and breakfast'. 10 computers and servers are just too much! A group of friends, at coffee last night, were discussing what to do with the next 20 odd years and the consensus was maybe moving far south, getting a satellite link and doing remote support and letting the young guys do the on site hustling.

Absolutely, ask away. I do it because it makes my life easier and less cluttered. I have replaced my entire stack of stereo and television equipment with one unit. We live in a small house so that is a welcome thing. I also have an add-on for the Bravia that allows for YouTube, Amazon Streaming Video, CBS's television series library, Slacker radio and other Internet type services to come directly in via its menu. Got it on eBay for less than half the original price and it came with a $120 Amazon credit. Brenda can now watch her grand nephew's latest baby video on the big screen. Fun Stuff. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 12:13 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Some of the cool features with Windows7 You are a real geek John... I have not moved to a flat screen yet but plan to in a few years (Roof, kitchen and second bathroom come first)... It definitely has its pluses. I had a friend build a small board that allows my computers signals to display on the old Tosiba... which is working perfectly and which makes it hard to just move up. I may have to ask you some technical questions in the future, if tht is alright. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
