Had a great dinner at my sister's this past weekend - she always has a few
dot-com techies around on holidays. I find their "clean slate mentality"
refreshing. Rather than trying to "find the most cost effective
work-around" because they have to use what they have with no budget to
upgrade or buy new like most techs, these folks tend to think in terms of
how best to solve the problem at hand, and THEN get the equipment to
implement.
When I started talking about the challenges for a school network, they
suggested we start by "building a terminal services farm". They thought
they would go with thin clients and then invest $ into 2 really great
servers that could both do processing for some shared expandable raided file
storage. This way we could administer network more efficiently - lock
things down, protect against virus, not worry as much about the user
equipment, etc Just wanted to share the thought.
