    Replacing an old server at work.

    Thanks for the great reply! I know I don't have enough info yet, I plan on just gathering infomation tomorrow and maybe loading the software on the new server to test it with some spare terminals. What is the database? I don't know what the file name is yet, it's a very old software piece...

    Replacing an old server at work.

    Hey guys, I work at a small company that uses a ~10 year old invoice/database program on a old server with a P3 450MHz with 4GB SCSI. The new server is a Dual Core Dell with 160GB drives in RAID. I am needing to swap in the new server with minimal down time and effort. Let me start by...

    How to format an ex-raided drive?

    Well, I figured out the problem. I guess the HD or the IDE controller didn't like the jumper settings I had. I disconnected my burner, pulled the jumper off and the HD formated fine in Windows. That is one of the things I do not like with newer motherboards only having 1 IDE controller.

    Best Time to List on Ebay?

    I have a similar question on eBay listings. Is now a good time to be selling stuff? I figure the auctions will be ending just after christmas and probably won't get many bids. Should I wait a couple weeks, then list them?

    Oh yeah, I love Bungle too. They are the biggest influence to my other favorite band, Incubus.

    food stamps...

    You are the one being naive. It's called minimum wage for a reason! If you don't like it, gain some skills to make yourself worth more than the minimum. McDonalds hires above minimum wage and so does 7-11. If you are a man, do construction or other manual labor, if you're a women, wait...
