Interesting. We are in a similar situation. 3 buildings spread out over 1 city block. 150 people, but only about 75 phones. We also had a bid for a Cisco system (with the discounts they were offering). Took us 4 months to get Avaya to refer us to a distributor. Cisco comes out as the most expensive, about 25% more than Avaya. Nortel is comming in at just over half of the Cisco bid. We have been in delay mode for months because we have a specific need that so far none of the vendors has addressed practically (screen pops. Cisco wants to push us to a call center system, like Heat, for an additional $40K). I am surprised you are seeing Nortel come in higher than Cisco. Do you have to replace a large amount of network hardware to accomodate the system?
How the heck do you highlight text for copying / pasting in Opera if it overrides the shift-arrow key highlighting function of the keyboard? Accurate copying with the mouse is usually a pipe dream.
Try Control-Insert for copy. Cut is supposed to be Shift-Delete (it works in Windows). These are what I learned originally for cut/copy/paste, don't know where from, somewhere in the dos world. Ctrl-c/v/x are still uncomfortable for me. Shift-delete works in Mandrake under KDE, though I don't know if its X, KDE, or the application (Mozilla) that is providing the functionality.
Yea, it would be nice though if man required an EXAMPLES section. The only man page I have ever found that I like was route's man page, because it provides an EXAMPLES section showing the most common uses of the program.
Powerbuilder is not a database, it is a development tool, like VB, but much better geared to talk to a database. Powerbuilder comes with SQL Anywhere, or as its now called Adaptive Server Anywhere. A pretty slick little database server, with nifty remote user / remote database tools. Puts Access to shame. Sybase even has a linux port of ASA.
I could be crazy, but I remember reading something about Geforce cards and BX chipsets.. Certain implementations of BX motherboards were just not designed to provide enough power to the AGP slot to drive new Geforce cards. Unfortunately I cannot quickly find a link.
I dont know about the photosmart prtiners, but regular HP inkjet printers are pathetic. They create huge pools of ink underneath the "rest area" for the printer cartriges, thus wasting an unimaginable volume of ink, and spray fine ink mist all over the inside of the printer. We had like 4 of them here at work. HP 970 and HP 640. Its really awefull to pick up a printer to move it and spill inkjet ink all over you from the pool it created inside.
The big problem I have is simply software should be either subject to patents or subject to copyright, not both. I can't think of anything else that is subject to both.

Because filing patents costs money.

Damn, I use good old Zaphod myself. And I use a fax pool # for my number. Thats kind of scary.
This is quite true. Google up a few examples of The Canterbury Tales. Each will have different spellings for alot of the words.
Am I the only one who heard the Wendy's radio commercial voice saying this post?
