Are you doing it through a gui or are you dd'ing the ISO to the drive?

Also, LibreOffice Draw will do PDF forms, never knew that.

Preparing for our monthly safety meeting.....

@MattSpeller I remember my dad having a bag phone when I was a kid. That was a man's phone.

@MattSpeller They have them for the S3. This brings back memories to my LG VX9800 days. I had a giant extended battery that made the bottom half of the phone super thick, since the battery was the actual back of the phone.

@g.jacobse I have this ridiculous case for mine that has an extra battery in it, but I stopped using it because you can't plug the usb into it to transfer data with the battery in.

@MattSpeller Ha, I wanted the red one so badly, but they were out when I ordered so I got a white one. It was last year right after they announced the Nexus 6 and I was afraid they would run out because the play store had none of them for a while. I waited because the speculation was the 6 was supposed to be close to the same price, so when they said $700 I promptly ordered a 5.

@MattSpeller Whatever happened to the giant extra batteries with third party back covers they used to make for cell phones? I would much rather have a thicker phone that lasts longer.

PS. What color is yours?

@scottalanmiller I love my Nexus 5. I tried apple for a while. I feel weird not being able to copy files view stuff on the network.

Edit: You may be able to do that with apple (I'm not sure), but the file browsers on android make it very nice.

@scottalanmiller I would have assumed you were an android person.

"For any released product with an option to participate in CEIP, you can select to start or stop participating at any time. Most programs make CEIP options available on the Help menu, although for some products, you might have to check settings, options, or preferences menus."

So the only way to opt out is if the developer decides to include the option to turn it off?

@thecreativeone91 Off google images, so I have no idea.

@Dashrender I agree. The one office only has four employees and a doctor. The whole system cost $40K and $300 a month for support. So the windows licenses are next to nothing.

Obviously looks don't mean that much, but the way the menus slide in and fade out, things like that.

@JaredBusch Good point. I found it a little weird because the install process is literally a bunch of batch scripts. You have to call their "tech support" when you add a new client. They download some batch scripts to the pc from their website and then run them. So now that I think about it, I don't know whether the program is just copied to the client from the server or if the application is some kind of Java/something else. It doesn't look like a native windows application (if that makes sense) the way it behaves, almost looks like a web app. I guess that's why I was thinking that way.

@coliver I've done work for a few doctor's offices around here. They've switched to Medent for their medical records. They deploy on-site CentOS servers, but their clients are only Windows based. I haven't seen the back end, so it could possibly be just an Oracle or DB2 server, but why develop on Linux and then not have a Linux client?

Does Office 365 have Sway? I just have a live.com account and I noticed it a while ago. Does anyone use it?

@scottalanmiller That's really cool. Ha, I hope I make it to your level of expertise in IT, I've always been interested in it and finally started my own business a few years ago.

@scottalanmiller That's awesome! I admit, I really didn't try to find one but I did have a steady job at something else. I had planned to teach, but I dropped the education part halfway through because I didn't want to deal with the politics of teaching. I just finished out with a performance major.
