      Why is Adobe reader on a machine that has full blown Acrobat Pro?

      Cause - why not? 😉

      In my case it would always be that way because reader is part of a standard build.

      This.

      I just always put it there, users don't know any wiser either.

        We still have 2 XP machines.... until today. One of them just went tits up (no boot drive error), and I will be glad to get this POS out of here. Now if we could just dump the customer we have that "requires" us to use IE6 and an OLD version of Team Viewer to access their stuff...

        Time to harvest the magnets from the hard drive, and maybe the PSU for a bench PSU

                This is a pretty silly post. Can't tell if the vendor is trolling or really that stupid.

                Seems like they don't know their market at all. To add to it, then advertise on SW. Seems like they need to advertise more on business sites.

                Why? IT sellers advertising to IT buyers. SW is an ideal fit I would think.

                  They seem like one of Gartner's core demographic.

                  That they do.

                    Any idea who ChipG is on SW? He claims to be someone that changes his name so that we won't know who he is, but claims he was my employer and fired me, multiple times (um, what?) I was once laid off by a Syrian company when they went bankrupt, but that was it in IT. I was fired from a hotel in the 1990s, but once the owner figured out that I was fired by the person stealing from the till because I was the one person that knew who was stealing from the till, they hired me back at a huge consulting rate. So I guess he's claiming to be the person that stole from the till - which would make him a 50 year old prostitute in NY (yes, the hotel's shift manager was a prostitute, that's why she took the hotel job to be near clients as it was a truck stop.)

                    He just went on a rampage telling me that there is nothing, anywhere, ever that suggests RAID 10 is okay to use with four drives. Zero technical info, just ranting. Mods got him fast, but I'm wondering who the heck he is.

                      If you are an employer and keep hiring the same person and firing them multiple times. Then you are the idiot 😛

                          Oh wait, I muted him, that's why he disappeared, LOL. Mods probably didn't get him yet.

                              Yup, quite the odd claim.

                                I'm pretty sure /s , but if it helps his last name is apparently Griffen. Does that ring any bells?

                                  None. I know one Griffen, but he worked for me, not the other way around, and we are on very good terms and I'm one of his job references. Can't think of any others.

                                      I checked my email history, no Griffen in there.

                                          A state I've never worked in, that's for sure. Nor would I, eww.

                                          Here is the thread: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1963031-server-hard-drive-choices

                                          He's definitely into the range of criminal activity - intentionally telling people to do things that are insanely reckless just to troll them. RAID 5 with the "biggest drives you can afford" is his recommendation. And RAID 01 over RAID 10. Never technical details, just anything he knows is bad advice.
