I mean the user account had to have Admin privs to be part of the domain. On the domain server you would limit them to just user or whatever, but local to their machine they were admin users. Unless that was just some insane policy decision. I tried to buck it at the time but I was told that user accounts had to have admin privs in order to become part of a domain.
Do user accounts need to be Admin accounts in order to join a domain? That's the way it was done in NT, but has it changed? I always thought it was a mistake moving users into admin accounts.
I used a Megastore that was connected to an LRS-888 Coba-II 96 channel seismic data aquesition system. It had the full rack of memory cards. It was about a 3 ft blue cube and really blew out the hot air. At the time it was state of the art (early 80s). Last time I saw it it did a 1 1/2 gainer off the back of a flatbed of equipment we were shipping.
Well said. How many times can they sell the same thing? Office is the bread and butter cash cow. It was for the most part finished in Office 95. How many versions since? Each with different file formats?

I went to Windows NT 5 demonstration some years ago. (Before it was called 2000) The demo machine was an Alpha and it kept crashing through out the presentation. It was running a stripped out version of the O/S or at least the desktop wasn't populated with the usual assortment of little pictures. The guy ran his demo from a script he was reading and I got the impression that he could only click/open specific, limited things -- a Potemkin Village of sorts.
Maybe they could never get it to work with the improvements.
The quintets sound a little Bach-ish and the Platonic Dice sound a bit like Glass or Cage. I think they are interesting pieces, but I wouldn't want to listen to them all the time -- you don't leave the theater humming the tune. That said, they are not without merit. They already contain more musical elements than rap. A little tweaking would at least have them on a par with Yanni or John Tesh.
Back in Mozart's day there was a composition game for generating minuets using dice. Here are details:

Because you use Win32 products... Make sure everyone has a network drive on the server and get a tape jukebox and Legato and back up the server and the machine of whoever does your annual review. I think Legato is overkill for a small office, but it really does work -- RTFM. Write up a quickie procedure to tell everyone how to save Outlook.pst files and so forth. Write up a procedure that clearly explains what you will do for them and what they need to do for themselves. Stress that HW failure is not an *if* it's a when. To the few who foolishly refuse to backup, suggest they turn their computer off for an afternoon and see how much work they get done. After a time, some hardhead who didn't save her work will have a drive crash or some other diaster. You may point out what the procedure says and leave her for dead. The quicker among the herd will get the message.
On *NIX systems and workstations, of course, you automate the whole thing yourself, users are not involved *AT ALL*. You never have to talk to users until they need something recovered which you do (even from tape) in a matter of minutes. Of course don't let them know how easy it is.

Exactly correct. Even LEXX was better than some of those listed.

I have been using computers since the 70's.
I switched to the GIMP on a SuSE 8.0 platform.

Jeez, it's not rocket surgery.

I don't mind too much being at work when the nightly backups start. I hate like hell still being there when they finish.
You have to admit they accessorize well with the lunch boxes.
You need new IT guys.
