Sorry to burst your bubble Lurker, but that is why we call it the "Art of Medicine". At some point all the data and good science aside, it still comes down to all those other things in a clinical visit. Sure the managed care company or some research scientist can show that 75% of folks respond best to treat "A" over treatment "B", but that doesn't say squat about that one particular patient in the room with that one doc right now... That is why managed care and P4P is such bunk, no two patients are ever exactly alike.
And I for one do apperciate your suggestions and assistance and I think I speak for everyone else here when I say they do too. It is really nice to finally have a real nuts and bolts tech on here now. From one old tech to another; Thanks.
Bert,
Funny you should memtion the Terra Station Pro as it was one of a few on my short list for the job. Do you know anyone who has used it and how pleased with it were they? Also if you look at the specs and features many of these NAS's now come with some form of logging onto them remotely and allowing remote access with something less than a VPN. Not knowing much about such things I was more than just a little concerned about the security of what ever means of access they might be using. But that would sure solve my remote access issue easy enough if it was of decent quality. The "My WorldBook" series, and the new HP Home Server as well as this Buffalo unit all seem to have some sort of feature like this. What might any of you know about what they are using and how safe, secure and easy to use are they???
And if I move most of the important date over to the NAS then the failure of the tower and it's harddrive become much less critical, correct? Now I can wait a day or two as long as we can live without the extra computer because all the others still have access to AC and it's data via the NAS, right? Now this 4 year old machine is fine for just being another working computer attached to the network. And what is this activate "feature" you mention? What does it do and from where and how do I activate it??? CMOS level, windows, what???
Thanks much again....
Paul
