just had to do a frantic hard drive swap on my laptop to my little brothers laptop because mine took a crap - power supply port I am thinking decided to stop working.
and My brother wasn't using his, and told me I could take it back.
Up and going on the laptop now, Man oh man, I was stressing.

So on to other news, Back on call starting at 5:00 pm tonight,

Also looking for suggestions on Laptops that are out there, any suggestions on what to get? Let's say I have a budget of about $300 is the most I would like to spend, Will spend more if I see it necessary .

I like the Dell Laptops in Amazon

Like any other server I'd imagine?

True. So far I've walked into situations that already had some kind of backup planned and running. Next task in my lab is figure out what to do if I was tasked with "We have X things, design a system to backup our X things."

It is a Chromebook for that is okay, anything else is not worth it.

Specific requirements will change things, but basically all you need to do is make sure a copy of the data exists and you can recover from it. Any backup software will do that.

I haven't messed with Chromebooks, What is the general Consensus?
I probably will just take my SSD from my current laptop and put it in the new one when i get it and keep the other one was a back up

Also I'm not sure the RDP tool we use is compatible with ChromeOS.

Yeah... there is only one RdP extension that I know works with ChromeOS and it is paid.

Waiting in the car while the SO shops... Typically spend at least one day like this every time we visit my folks. But it's OK. I'm on the verge of a food coma from the Indian food at the farmer's market
