[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 946560, member: 24160"] Have to agree with McBie. I'm all for switching if that is what someone wants to do. Sounds to me like you've got some business owners that haven't thought through what it is they need to accomplish. For a business transition, if they want to change over, they really need to invest in a single setup. Trying to figure out a new piece of software and/or hardware while you're trying to get work done can be extremely frustrating. I'd recommend investing in possibly a single setup for testing to make sure everything is up, running, and as hassle free as possible. You need to know what [B]all[/B] the ramifications will be prior to setting the equipment up on a single desk in a work environment. We just did a software upgrade yesterday to a single app with only three users. Normally they'll put an upgrade only on my machine to let me work out the kinks and then have a mini training for the others. This time the boss decided to just upgrade all three machines. Cost me only about a half hour to get back to productivity. Cost one of the other, not so computer savvy users 3 hours. 3 hours which we did not have, as all of our work is extremely time sensitive. During that 3 hours, cost me another hour of downtime going back and forth to show them where to go to do what they needed. And the learning curve for that user is far from over. [/QUOTE]
