    Suppose we all agreed to use a smaller font?
    Would that make the db smaller and load faster? :D

    no, because its not an image, its just a settings, therfore, fonts size would have no effect at all.

    It seems to be pretty zippy for me every morning, but then it never seems to recover after the lunchtime crowd have been in trampling all over the place. I'm guessing the nightly backups (and possible reboots ?) are releasing some resources that are being kept tied up after the lunch time crowd. Would it be a sensible suggestion to restart/reboot/otherwise release resources during the day sometime, without the lengthy backup, or would rioting/looting ensue ?

    They are undoubtedly planning on having a Googlesque FIVE dimensional array of Xeon 35 GHz Optimus-Prime Edition IBM machines with RAID-ONE MILLION, TEN BILLION Petabyte disks.

    They may be slightly underfunded though.

    what what?

    We own a pair of clapped out Dell 2450s, and a nice HP DL380. But the whole thing needs more welly.

    I'm hoping to get some new webservers (1-3 servers, maybe Dell 1425s) and move the DL380 to a DB role. To do that, I'll want to get some more drives and a nice new RAID card with battery-backed write back cache.

    The two dells, we'll probably auction or put out to pasture :)

    It'd be cool if you could shred the old machines and put pieces of them into some kind of presentation case and sell them off. Own a piece of boards.ie etc

    here's a little tip:

    del *.chk,*.tmp works in windows 95, should work a treat on your server.
