Deploying Adobe Acrobat in the Enterprise?

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to use another Gateway laptop.

This time, the power supply was so big, and generated so much heat, it had its own cooling fan.

I have searched all over the web and I cannot find a picture - but I imagine it must be the Gateway Laptop Power Supply - rated for 150W - enough to power a small desktop.

Isn't it just so wonderful? Can you imagine the heat that that laptop must pump out, if the POWER SUPPLY ITSELF must need a cooling fan just to KEEP UP?

Ubiquitous computing - the ability to "compute" anywhere.  I wonder if you could do that with a 10lb Gateway 'laptop'?  Oops - be careful! You mustn't put that on your lap - you're blocking the air vent and you'll get 3rd degree burns!

When you run the WLBS display command or the WLBS query command on a Network Load Balancing cluster host, you receive results that indicate that the cluster host is not converging successfully, or that the cluster is converging only with itself. For example, you may receive results that are similar to one of the following:

WLBS Cluster Control Utility V2.4 (c) 1997-2003 Microsoft Corporation.
Cluster 192.168.192.4
Host 2 has entered has entered a converging state 1 time(s) since joining the cluster
  and is still in a state of convergence.
Host 2 converging with the following host(s) as part of the cluster:
1

WLBS Cluster Control Utility V2.4 (c) 1997-2003 Microsoft Corporation.
Cluster 192.168.192.4
Host 2 has entered has entered a converging state 1 time(s) since joining the cluster
  and is still in a state of convergence.
Host 2 converging with the following host(s) as part of the cluster:

WLBS Cluster Control Utility V2.4 (c) 1997-2003 Microsoft Corporation.
Cluster 192.168.192.4
Host 2 has entered has entered a converging state 1 time(s) since joining the cluster
  and is still in a state of convergence.
Host 2 converged as DEFAULT with the following host(s) as part of the cluster:
2

Make sure that you are not using a crossover cable between the private network adapters in the cluster.

If you use a layer 2 switch to connect the Network Load Balancing hosts in unicast mode, make sure that you can pass broadcast packets. If this feature is not enabled, the heartbeat packets cannot be detected by other hosts. This causes the hosts to converge only with themselves.

Replace the switch that connects the private network adapters in the cluster with a hub. Connect the hub to the uplink port on the switch. If you already use a hub to connect the private network adapters, set the MaskSourceMAC registry value to 0 (zero).

If the cluster hosts have Gigabit network adapters, verify that they are listed on the hardware compatibility list (HCL).

Check the Gigabit Server Adapter properties. The network adapter driver may prevent hosts from overwriting the real Media Access Control (MAC) address with the address that is used for Network Load Balancing (the ClusterNetworkAddress entry that is returned when you run the WLBS display command). This MAC address is in the format of 02-BF-ww-xx-yy-zz where ww-xx-yy-zz is the cluster virtual IP address in hexadecimal notation. For example, 02-BF-0A-A5-02-13 corresponds to IP address 10.165.2.19.

If you are using Network Load Balancing in unicast mode, you may have to manually set the network adapter's Locally Administered Address (LAA) to the Network Load Balancing cluster unicast MAC address (ClusterNetworkAddress). You must do this by using the driver program for the load-balanced network adapter on each host in the cluster. You must not set the LAA for Network Load Balancing clusters that are operating in multicast mode.

Make sure that you are not using fault tolerant or teaming network adapters. If you are using teaming network adapters, disable teaming mode for the duration of the troubleshooting process.

IMAPSize is a freeware Windows application that allows you to quickly and efficiently manage your IMAP mail accounts. It is not another mail client. The main purpose of IMAPSize is to locate space consuming folders and allow you to manage them, hence putting your storage quota under control. To accomplish this task IMAPSize offers a variety of useful (and some unique) operations. 
 
Features
Display of all mailboxes in an account with visual alerts for the most space consuming mailboxes
Convenient storage quota display
Powerful search capabilities on single or multiple mailboxes
Delete attachments (all or individual) without downloading them
Save attachments locally from multiple messages (BETA)
Mailbox management (expunge, create, delete, rename)
Message management (change flags, copy, move, delete, etc)
Manage folder subscriptions
Modify message headers
Copy messages from one IMAP account to another
Perform incremental backups of multiple folders in your IMAP account
Perform incremental backups of the whole account
Replicate IMAP folder hierarchy to your local drive
Download/upload messages to/from mbox and eml files
eml2mbox conversion
mbox2eml conversion. This can be extremely useful in the process of moving messages from Thunderbird to Outlook. Here's how.
Spam handles which provide a basis for visual alerts on spam messages
SSL connections
Minimizes bandwidth consumption wherever possible
Keyboard friendly - you can perform almost all operations without using the mouse

I plop in an Alias DVD on Monday afternoon, 1 pm, and it won’t read the disc.  I try other DVDs in the drive and it makes this strange dying noise.

Pick up the phone and call IBM.  They agree to replace the part and send it out. I hang up; call timer on the Siemens phone reads 6:17 (6 minutes, 17 seconds).  This includes all phone menus, etc.

I come into work today (Tuesday) the day after.  A replacement CDRW/DVD drive has arrived via Purolator with return waybill.

I now have the 755 model instead of the 745 that came standard on T40s.  24x CDR burner. 

It took 6 minutes 17 seconds.  I am sealing the box now with tape and bringing it to the shipping department downstairs in this building;  They will get it picked up by Purolator and send back.

End of proof.
