  @Katie said: @JaredBusch That's what I think, too - it's kind of a phishing thing at this point and isn't connected to my current email. I feel bad that my friends are getting spammed and think its me. The VP at my former employer pays me to come take care of her home gear ever couple months and she has recently been suffering through this also. Just for her it is her active Yahoo! account, not an inactive AOL account. The headers all clearly show that it is not coming from a valid Yahoo! server. When she called me to ask ab out it, I looked in my SPAM file and found her emails to me. This means Google blocked them and the problem is that the recipients' SPAM software is obviously not up to snuff.

I just stopped the VNC service on each PC and pushed down the MSI and installed using the new password. I knew once I pointed you in the right direction you would get it

  Yes I use it and allow it bank records and credit card as well. It takes a bit of time off the balancing the books etc. (and I don't have to worry about receipts as much either)

  Figured warranty and/or RVS (Rotation Vibration Safeguard) would have been mentioned, as well. Consider warranty to be an OEM's confidence in their device. Bit on RVS, http://www.zdnet.com/blog/storage/bad-bad-bad-vibrations/896 Cost math on price can be interesting. As an example, a device getting twice the value out of a set of Red drives vs RE drives. SMBs would be more of the mindset to take the lowest price (yeah, yeah, not enterprise).

  @JaredBusch Mac and its features do have a consumer bent. Gotta consider I.T. pros being responsible for themselves and their own processes. Actually, surprised you did not mention doing the backups via cron/systemd/etc. Am a bit curious on the current performance comparison between Parallels v9 and VMware Fusion v6— http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-latest-virtualization-showdown-parallels-desktop-9-vs-vmware-fusion-6/ 'Tis one source, still want more being an I.T. skeptic & all that

  @Katie said: What are the pros and cons of implementing an open-source PBX as opposed to a proprietary system? I've worked in shops that ran Cisco Unity, and after that - Shoretel. I found Shoretel to be a great deal easier to learn over the Cisco system and had a fairly easy time administering it. How do these compare to something like Elastix or Asterisk? 3CX is also a good solution, but it is not an open source one. I personally do not prefer it, but if you have a windows license to spare for a VM, it is quite easy to setup and not nearly as expensive as other options. I use PBX in a Flash simply because I do not need the simplified Elastix interface and I want more up to date versions. If the Elastix team put more effort into staying updated I would use it everywhere. You hit the nail on the head about the true cost of switching the phone system though. No matter what you go to, if it is not a true upgrade,you will have to redesign all of the call handling from scratch. The thing you need to validate with you upgrade is whether or not it is a 100% no reconfig needed upgrade. If there is time not accounted for to do something like that, then you just leveled the playing field again.
