I'd be curious what times other people get, from the Log In button to the main screen. What I really wish is that AC had some kind of fast-user-switching, so the Dr. and CNA are both logged in at once, but they can switch back and forth in less than a second.
Windows has this feature. You can just have each user logged in with AC open and lock it when he or she needs to leave.
By fixed I just meant they are not carried around, they live in the rooms. But also they do use wired networking. No wireless in the office. It is 100Mbit. I have never looked at the cost of upgrading that in place. If we were to do a new office, I would do Gbit at least.
Most offices have CAT5E cable which can handle gigabit speeds just fine. You can get a gigabit switch for a reasonable price. I think a *24* port dlink is 130-150.
