Question for computer geeks, netwrk. admins, or anyone

Either option.... warranty is good because it saves space and also can help with file retrieval and whatnot if there is a catastrophic failure. But spares... always nice!!! Pain to store, but can be switched out in a matter of minutes.

As for Macs... I know they are getting more and more compatible as the years go by, but when it comes to software that is more proprietary or isn't a popular home program, compatibility is a risk. I would stick with systems you know.

And thanks for the welcome, tomato!

That'd be a concern for the servers maybe, but there is no critical data on a workstation (not a whole lot anyway) but yeah, space is also an issue. Office space is expensive around here so dedicating a whole area to be used as a boneyard for computer parts, I DNK...

This isn't a Mac-oriented business, so that's why I said no macs. Nothing personal.

This is fantastic! I just knew you guys would come up with great ideas!
Maybe I ought to talkto you all about the servers, too ;0)
Thank you and please keep them coming, this is REALLY, REALLY helpful!
