Wow, the Xisto story was inspiring.I hope the admins don't run into more problems.

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine wants to start his own business, and he asked me if I wanted to help him set up his office server. At this point, we are just planning so we would love to get input from as many sources as possible.

He told me that he wanted to be able to run his estimating software; Oncenter, Timberline/Sage, as well as Office 2007... and this is just for starters.

I was thinking a thin client server system would be the best option because it would provide excellent scalability (if he needs more computers, then just buy another thin client...more processing, storage, etc. could be handled by buying more server hardware).

I am very open to any input that you may have. Thank you.

I don't mean to be rude... but VB 6 is still being used? It was the last version of VB before .NET was released, and I thought everybody had moved onto that.If that is not the case, I would love to enlightened. Regardless, it is a good language to get started in. The syntax might not make sense at first, but it is a pleasure once you understand it.

My name is Adrian and I'm interested in the web design, graphics, and networking.I joined mainly to read the tutorials section and provide some input on stuff that I try out. Also, I wanted some advice... but I will post that in the appropriate section.Bye
