@wirestyle22 just tested wifi. It's a bit abysmal..
We used it for a pendant system to notify us of dementia patients that move outside of predefined areas. It was awful.
Wtf dementia?! That's a cool project!
It's hard to make work correctly because it's based on the variable signal strengths and everything
I'm assuming environmental factors would play a part in this being successful or not.
Correct. Some hospitals have lead walls over near xray etc which completely destroys your signal as an example
I was thinking more towards temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, etc.

Yeah but in a healthcare environment there can be even more than your standard considerations which is why I bring that up

I found this secret picture of the @Minion-Queen at work.
omg that screen size... my neck would get sore.
Other thoughts... would be fun to move the mouse pointer around to play with a cat.

In upper management, if IT denies the purchase request, they'll just go out, purchase their own, and expense it out. But, its also not ITs responsibility to maintain either.

It's a display, not really an IT thing anyway.

You are right. However, to a nom-IT person, they're still considered IT.

That IT people support "electronics". The part that lay people get wrong. When IT repeats that, it reinforces it or even justifies it. How can we expect non-tech people to understand who is bench, who is an electrician, who is a developer or who is IT if we blend them all together ourselves? It's a habit to break that we all do. But doing it can help lead to problems where the IT person is told to fix the sprinkler because "it's technical." <-- real issue

Just Dominica's for her desk. She is rarely on the phone. It's more for calling across the house than to clients. The kids use it to call my dad. They love that he has an extension on the system.

They work fine and quality is fine, but for me the thing it that pressing a button and getting a response is horribly slow..
I cannot see why people used to recommend this model all the time. The T2 series does not have this issue.

I seriously love the T42G model. cost and feature is just perfect. Save a few buck and get the T41P for the same phone without the gigabit passthrough.
