I am not going to try to set up a server, so we would have hardware and IT costs. And we would be dependent on a tech for problems.
I have debated setting up a server, mostly after listening to Bert

but have been running fine with Dell Optiplex for the most part. I really appreciate Bert's suggestion about switching to a higher performance, less graphics intensive mode. I'm planning to do this when I isolate my 'server' machine and get my CMA off it. (Have to buy another computer). If I went with a server, would have to have IT run it as I'm inexperienced with that realm.
In our area, it is hard to make a buck in Family Medicine. Several local practices have left the area over the last few years.

Have you ever considered coming to Alaska? Reimbursement is great and we make a nice living for lowly primary care.

I will try Berts suggestion for "server emulation" next, and then either replace the wireless router or switch.
I use Mac's at home and I've had really good performance from the Airport Express router/switch. My laptop times to the server are almost as good as hard wired.
