Fun fun fun
Got a call this A.M. that the computer at the store than handles our video rentals wasn't booting up properly. Rats! We have over 3,500 DVDs for rent and generally do 30-50 rentals/day.
I have daily backups and they are fine but had to run into Costco and pick up a cheap Dell and will spend tomorrow installing Windows XP, Office 2003 and the rental software. This machine is not connected to the internet so I like to run it old-school. Should be fun to see the performance boost -- the old machine is seven years old -- 2GB single core. The new one is multi-core with 8GB RAM. I'll put a new HD in the old one and install Linux for the ham radio shack.
