@Grey well, this is one of the weirdest bars you'll ever go into. Truly unique. It's basically an art installation that serves booze.
You'd like this one in Toronto too haha
I like my local. Beer, cigars, bacon and some of the most comfortable couches. It's very possible to fall asleep in one of them if you're not careful. http://palmacigars.com/

Just ordered a new laptop. (Found a deal on a refurbished one). HP Spectre 13.3" Core i7 8GB RAM 256GB SSD
-
@brianlittlejohn I hope you like it. I think the Spectre was what I returned because my eyes just don't like glossy laptop displays.
-
@EddieJennings We'll see. I've had a macbook for years with a glossy screen, shouldn't be a problem.

My surface has a shiny .. er .. surface? Touch screen? Anyway, it's not a big deal until I go outside.

how can anyone in this day and age, especially top posters, recommend a physical DC and think that they are not going to get called out for it?

Man, a month back in town and I've still not managed to get a group together

On P99 raid now. Already did the pseudo-mandatory-at-work-after-work gaming session with one of my bosses

Number crunching potential telecom savings. Even though I know our solution will be FreePBX on (most likely Vultr) + SIP provider, I want to have some actual numbers to show my bosses.

Do it based on current data? Shouldn't be hard to estimate.

@dafyre Yeah. I'm trying to give them an estimated cost for 5 years with these caveats: assuming price for services stays the same and assuming some arbitrary increase in overall minutes usage (since I don't have good historical data to really show a trend).
-
I'm curious how you know how many local calling mins (in and out) you are currently using? My Teleco provider doesn't/won't provide that to me.

I would price it out based on current prices over the last quarter or two. That way you get to see what the costs would look like based on current usage.

@Dashrender The best I have is a utility from Altigen that shows 3 months worth of minutes usages on the PBX. I don't have any local information from Windstream. So what I'm doing to estimate the current telco costs for the next five years is looking at long-distance and toll-free minutes, since local is baked into the standard monthly charge.
Edit: I take those minutes from the utility and subtract the toll-free / long distance minutes reported by Windstream. It's not 100% accurate, but gives me an idea of non-toll-free/long distance minutes.

A lot of them provide it.
-
@Dashrender I thought they had to provide that? It's part of the FCC regulations.

I am dealing with random reboots after updates last night even though my GPO active hours are between 7 AM and 7 PM and Default maintenance is set to 2AM and the computers are still rebooting... Windows 10 Pro with WSUS....
