The one thing I always wished for in SpiceWorks was a drop down menu response to questions that will get the same response each time. For example - if someone asks "What is the best Anti-Virus available?" This will be beaten to death over and over, but if a quick canned response can be given to the OP "This question has been asked 4,325 times - please see this link", that would be totally awesome. It keeps the smart ass remarks from happening and it gives the OP a professional result to the question that already exist. Put that on my wish list.

@scottalanmiller Yup. Walking into an environment and hearing someone say that snapshots are their backup strategy...here's what you do.

1. Apply face to palm.
2. Remove face from palm.
3. FIRMLY apply palm to other person's face. Repeat until sense has been enabled.

I sort of did this until about 6 years ago - A VMWARE expert who was helping me setup my infrastructure laid it out for me about snapshots. Whenever I talk about them now, I express that my policy is that snapshots are only allowed to live on my network for a few hours, until I am assured that I don't need to immediately go back to it. It is a fall back process, not a backup strategy.

@Bob-Beatty Did you know there is chat?

Yep - as Scott said - I chatted with him this morning - that is an awesome feature! Glad to be here with you guys!!!

I agree Bill - so far, I'm loving this!

I'm glad this exist. Can someone give me some background? Who created this, who's idea? I was really getting frustrated with the SW Community, although, those that know me know that I will never leave SpiceWorks as I have been involved with them since Beta (2006). I just hope this community stays "sane".

@Nic I was just told that by my buddy - I'm going to start True Detective as soon as I finish the last season of 24.

@ajstringham How do I include a quote when replying? I wanted to include the part where A.J. says he is really weird and I wanted to agree.

@Joyfano Hi Joy!

@Nic Is Richard on here Nic? or going to be?

I invited a few of my fellow SpiceTrainers - some good guys!

I'm glad to be here - you guys ok if I invite a few to join this club?

@scottalanmiller A couple of them looked like they were being held by a cable or something - I'm skeptic...

@Minion-Queen
We just bought 10 Surface Pro 2's - so far, everyone loves them! Surprisingly, the guys who had IPADS say it made their IPAD obsolete. boom!
