          You can't be afraid of it.

          I think it's good to be a little afraid of your servers. It's fear that makes you double check you're doing the right thing before hitting enter. The day I stop fearing the servers will be probably be the day I really screw something up. I've had guys that I wished were a little less confident in what they were doing. I don't mind admitting that my hands sometimes shake when I'm doing a particularly critical job. 20 years and I've yet to screw up anything major yet.

            @Carnival-Boy while its good to have apprehension about things, it is bad when you shut out technology. Now in your case since you have banned it from your environment you don't necessarily have to worry about supporting it, however it still is a good thing to know. I don't like apple but have to know how the ipad/iphones work since they are used by my execs. My opinion is since mobile tech isn't going away, and you are in a support role, don't shun it, embrace it.

              I have a long list of things I want to learn and books I want to read, from French to the guitar to Leo Tolstoy to jQuery, and hopefully have around 40 years left to achieve them. Even then, I know I will run out of time before I'm even half way through. Life is short!

                @Carnival-Boy very true, life is short. I guess since i hope that i can live a full life and i am only 31 that my view is different than others. Enjoy what you can!

                    That is why I have a windows phone and an android here. So we can help customers trouble shoot things.

                      I'm just running on a Windows 8.1 gaming PC and iPad mini. Boring, but effective.

                        My home office: Dual monitor setup with old HP rig (Q6660, 8GB, SSD) running W8.1. Crucial SSD died last Saturday after 6+ months of running. Running off a spare HP PC that was my data backup machine.

                        • list item 2 Dell 2850's for testing, last running W2008R2.

                        • list item Hp Touchsmart TX2x convertible touchscreen laptop AMD Fusion dual core 6GB and W8.1

                        • list item Android TF101 with keyboard dock and Samsung Galaxy S3.

                        • list item IMB convertible laptop x41? I used it to demo W8

                        Since last week I have been testing if one can be productive by living in the cloud only without any desktop apps. I will be reporting the shortcomings I have found.

                        Favorite desktop apps: Office 2013, Google Music Manger (my music is cloudy baby!), Notebook++, WinSCP. I have a love hate relationship with OneNote and Evernote.

                        Cloudy apps I love: RepairShopr, Wave, Office 365, ZenDesk, WHMCS, InfiniteWP.

                        Going to build or buy a new rig and want to get a touch screen monitor.
