      We've got heavy rain in the back yard and bright sun in the front.

        Sounds like spring time around my house.

                  Once we got there we figured out that my wife is delusional and had no idea why I would own a heavy coat. So we came right back.

                          OMG, some new poster on SW can't figure out if the so insanely obviously free SpiceWorks software is free, or if it is $500,000 a year to run.

                          Really? How can you not figure out it is free, just go to the site. And seriously, what software cost $500K a year for one user AND shows ads! This guy actually things that millions of people deploy software at half a million dollars a year? SpiceWorks would be earning TRILLIONS in profits a year. TRILLIONS!!! They'd be doing weird things like funding their own space exploration program and buying other planets. They'd have entire development teams working from undersea research stations in the Mariana Trench... just because they could. Their spokesperson would be the Queen of England and Donald Trump would make them coffee.

                              Anyone ever use ooma for VoIP at home? My friend does and swears by it. Apparently you pay for the appliance and like 2-3$ a month for the taxes of having a phone number and that's it. Only one phone though.

                                I hve heard of them,... but never looked at them. Had Vonage for years, and when we moved into the house, didn't renew. That was eleven years ago. We have our mobile phones and that is it.

                                  So cheap to have a full PBX, as IT folks, why consider anything else? voip.ms plus a hosted FreePBX instance is super powerful, great learning, so many more features and so important for your career, why look at consumer services when you can go to full enterprise for barely more money (couple extra dollars?)

                                    I wouldn't buy it but i think its kind of nice for non-tech people to come into this century

                                      I can understand why non-IT people don't do a PBX for their own home, but for IT people I pretty much only understand doing nothing at all or going all out. Your phones are one of the few home production systems that you have to run. We make such a big deal of our home labs and normally we have to contrive any use case for them (when do we REALLY need a wiki at home, or Active Directory or even backups?) but phones, firewalls and mass media storage are the exceptions where we can run production, heavily used things at home to get experience that rivals office experience. Why pass it up?

                                          Only concern is that it is a router and takes over your network.

                                            With your own PBX? Yeah, that's an awesome free additional feature.
