      I'm looking at on the desk sitting/standing desks - damn, the keyboard tray on all of them is tiny! It's like they expect you to use a roller mouse or a mouse pad.

      Personally, not sure I could use one that didn't give me nearly the whole surface of my desk.

      while I might be able to tolerate it while standing, when sitting being confined to that tiny mouse space would drive me insane!

          @Dashrender I know I've seen some where it's just a table that can go up and down. Seems like that would be better than anything with a keyboard tray. Do people still use keyboard trays?

                Do you have a link?

                I need something that sits on top of my current desk - my concern about any solution that sits on my desk is that the scissor device will raise the whole desktop at least 3 inches. While I might be able to get away with that, raise my chair 3 inches, many people won't.

                  haha... robocopy script was copying from a share that was way bigger than it's target (I messed up).

                  Comparing the source and the target, nothing matches.... Look at the script.. whoops! /purge on that robocopy script...

                    Seriously, be careful with your robocopy. Always, always re-read what you typed, then run it with the /quit switch, and THEN read it to see if it's OK before you run it.

                      Amen to that. I used some visual version of that back in the mid 90's... ended up pushing data the wrong way and wiped out 30% of a network share. they were crazy and didn't make a dedicated share for the images to be pulled from.

                        Oh no, the source path is fine (technically) just I overlooked the exact drive to the wrong destination. As I replicated the script from the one before it.

                          Of course this means the copy (of the proper data) will take a while.

                                How often do we hear "We can save you money" and the answer is "oh no, money is too tight, we can't save money right now."

                                Really?

                                  Actually - I have a story for that - We have a printer that we'll save money on it's TCO if we replace it with a new model. It would require some capital spend today though, and that's what's keep us from replacing it.

                                    In this case, they are looking at investing MORE now, to lose MORE later. No savings, anywhere.

                                        Because it is 10x better than RAID 5? 😉

                                            What we don't know is the anticipated budget. I have a feeling that someone thinks they are going to be able to skate by with a $1-5000 investment/fix.
