Seems like the right one to me!

What language did you use for classic ASP? JScript and VBScript were the most popular, if I remember.

ASP.NET with C# is pretty powerful and easy to use.

Not much news going on this week or last, but I thought that this was an interesting walk through the past. InfoWorld's 25 Years of Microsoft Office Roadkill.

Partial to redheads myself....

Commodity, replaceable nodes. That's the common new approach. Nearly everyone is doing that today. It is tough for the small businesses, though, where they are lucky to have a single node. Works great when you are replacing old, legacy UNIX machines or something but when you are replacing a single, cheap node you generally can't find the budget to go to two, cheaper nodes.

The thing that I found to be most interesting was that Word started as a UNIX product, on Xenix, and was only later ported to DOS.

Congrats. What does that entail?

OneDrive for Business works, even normal OneDrive would work for this.

XFCE is not dead or dying but very much alive and kicking.

Kids randomly bring you cake? What a wonderful world.

@scottalanmiller of course he does, it's where he likely gets all of his IT news.

HP is releasing a super cute, $180 Windows PC called the Stream Mini. With only 2GB of RAM this is a severely underpowered unit, but for basic web browsing I suspect that it will work alright.

Nice job, very professional looking.

@coliver that is certainly going to be the biggest challenge. The exodus from the Windows 8 fiasco will be hard to repair.
