Restart the server? clean out memory?

Server restart didn't work. I'm able to work around the issue and do what's needs to be done. Haven't heard from RM Support. If I get some free time (if the phones) will stop ringing I'll try and figure it out.

Then NYC again

Safe Travels! Can't wait to meet you!

Sent a email to RM lets see how long it's gonna take to fix it and how long I'll be on hold tomorrow morning......Wish me luck.

Note to self Build better Database!

Doing it on all computers, but I did find a way around it. Hello RM support! NOT!

You can call any time.

Thanks, since @g.jacobse doesn't wanna answer my phone calls any more

And the crashing issue every time, did a restart still same thing. Good way to throw me into this, because I sure as heck don't wanna call there support unless I have to. I'd be on hold the rest of the day.

Several discussions were had over RM and it's 'issues'....

One: server wasn't built as I would have built it ... More need for redundant drives than to have 1TB of storage.

Server/Client side went for v3.x to 6.x+ in one jump... others went from 3 to 4 to 5 to 6...

Happy to come fix it...... But you'll need a support request....

Yeah please come fix it......I really need to have it up and running. Here's your support ticket!

Hey now....just hold up a second there hos-cat.!

RM was there before me...

My first thought was to call you and complain!

I swear I hate dealing with RM & this company.

My desk is still a mess, I need a maid, any volunteers?

Found a pic of my previous setup! NextDesk Terra ( later converted into an Air ).

That's entirely to clean.....I wouldn't want to touch it.

I have a guy in my social circle who recently moved from Android to iPhone. He's been on a tear about how everything just works.

Sometimes the idea that a single entity can make everything just work together is really appealing. But at what cost is what I always come back to.

I had Android for the longest time, switched to IPhone, had it for 2 years and as soon as the 2 years was up I went back to Android. Just wasn't an Apple fan.

Yes I have an IPod and an IPad. Just couldn't get into the IPhone.

Just got this e-mail at work, thought I'd pass it along to you.

FYI

The FBI has issued a public service announcement warning about phony government websites. Criminals are using the phony websites to attempt to obtain personal information of their victims and charge them fraudulent fees.

Then I need check and double check my tech. I've got Chrome on everything I have.

Yes most people will do only that, but also what happens when it crashes on you numerous times because of the protection you have on it isn't doing it's job.

Protection?

Virus/Malware

This doesn't make sense for a chromebook... or even a cheapy Windows device. For Windows you are going to want to have AV regardless... will it run like crap on low end hardware? Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that you will want it.

For Chromebooks they are locked down in such a way where this isn't a really big issue. Everything is working from the browser.

That's the point I was making. That AV software was gonna be crap and let more "junk" though.

So why buy a more expensive machine with Windows on it when you can get a viable ChromeOS box for the same price and not have to worry about malware? Especially if the only things the user is doing is on a web browser?

Like I said you can buy 5 or more of the Chromebooks for the price of a Windows laptop, so if the use case is web browsing then you really don't need the extras that Windows can "provide".

It really just depends on what the user wants out of there machine and what they want/capable of paying.

Agreed. that was the point I was trying to make.

Agreed
