Did they give you any reason as to why?

It is never good to get to the point that you are stranded without your device. I have 4 different USB power packs;

• PowerADD 7200 mAH SOLAR USB charger
• ativa - MOBIL IT charger
• TimeWarner promotion USB charger
• (2) USB chargers that use 18650 batteries - which I recycled out of 'dead' laptop battery packs.

@scottalanmiller Play Ingress (from Google and Niantic) - it'll kill your battery pretty quickly.

SharePoint Work flows? It's unlikely since we haven't delved that far yet...

@scottalanmiller
So not really the correct tool to use to create / manage forms like Employee Reimbursements, Mileage Reimbursements?

@scottalanmiller
As I am just getting started, it's much like my Sharepoint project... How to get started, is there any point in taking a form created in Excel and importing it? etc.

We have a large number of forms that are both WORD, EXCEL or PDF that looking at things and reading what Sharepoint and Infopath are - are best replaced with such.

I am looking at books on Amazon - much like my thread on SharePoint...

Is anyone using or has used InfoPath?

In light of @scottalanmiller setup and review of the readyNAS 312, I'm curious as to suggestions on:

• PRE-AD Setup

• POST-AD Setup

Currently don't have any type of Active Directory, but are in need of a file storage device. Preference would be one that can be turned around and integrated within AD without having to rebuild the whole file / folder structure. But also has some security setups....

Happy birthday Joy!

Some where along the line- the thought of hospital electrical came to mind. Electrical outlets which are on backup power are colored (red) for easy identification.

While I've not spoke to anyone about it, it seems impractical to have both PSUs plugged into the same UPS, so why not split them and then identify them by color.

@Minion-Queen
Yea - Could go that route. I don't know where the thought came from really,.. But why not? Many use color coded patch cable.

On a Dual PSU server, has anyone thought of using color coded power cords to manage which PSU is in a battery back up?

Plans..
Make the following:

• Fudge
• Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (maybe)

Lunch tomorrow
Drive Friday (8 Hours)
Wedding Saturday
Drive Sunday (8 hours)

Come back to work on Monday to rest.

I am going to be driving five to six hours to get up to Rochester tonight. But at least I get to relax up there for several days with the family.

Drive carefully. Hope you have your laptop, tablet, etc device with you for support...

What is the retail price on this NAS?

I've seen online stores carry it in the $360 - $410 range.

TigerDirect list it at $444

Well -

YOu can just about count on a Purchase Order going up the ladder tomorrow for one. Get one here learn it and then place one at home for myself.

Thanks @scottalanmiller - Really nicely done. (Not to mention I know who to call one when I have a Ooopps!)

If these are desktops - why a SSHD? Other than some performance - what benefit does a desktop get from installing a SSHD?

Difficult to say. I fight boredom and repetition fatigue daily, my brain needs more stimulus then a regular office can give. Maybe it's burn out that I'm dealing with... but I want more...

Unlikely I'll ever find it...
