Hey! Welcome back!

Datablocks and Netcabins are delayed to "some" effect.

 

[Geminijatt]

Thanks,
Glad to be back.

Delayed to some "effect" eh...that can't be good :confused2

 

[Docevl]

They were planning to open in late Aug. I think, I don't know what happened though.

Tom told me early September

 

[Geminijatt]

[niv]

At least multimania is still up and around.

Uh oh, here comes Tom! :nervous:

That tends to happen to everyone

hmmm, failing hardware. i wouldn't try to go to the shop to fix my hardware, sounds like it is running off of a Pentium I box, but that at just my opinion.

 

[ozefrog]

i dont think so.......

they said it cost em bout $23,000 just for servers,(new) plus all it was, was a hardware 'compatibility prob' nothing more....

you cant tell me you have never built a pc with a part that wasnt compatible?? i have, a Cyrix M2 333mhz proc on a Biostar m/board (blue screens of death) and thats just one example of compatibility probs i have had, the rest would make fill the fws.net database! :biggrin2:

 

[roblev]

actually I have a Pentium I server in my bedroom which now runs Microsoft Windows NT 4 Terminal Server Edition with Citrix Metaframe 1.8.

and yes, i have run into problems. i had a problem when trying to run linux. it wouldn't find the right video drivers.

:chinese2:

Spending $23,000 on something that already failed in the past? Damn..... I'm not going to doubt them but if they fail again, then it will suck to be them

I don't consider an NEC Powermate from 1990 to be a good server.
