Stories like this are why I am so thrilled to no longer have to answer to anyone.

A version where we never completed client dialog to map Windows dot matrix shares to our internal drivers. Had to remember the schema and add the mapping in the database myself.

It's after 5:00PM, Tom. Why have you not left the office yet?

Well, a customer called wanting to get a Windows 10 computer printing to a dot matrix printer shared by a Windows 2000 machine. Impossible. 10 simply would not allow it. I had to log onto an ancient RHEL5 server, map the windows 2000 share, enable samba, configure max_protocol to NT1 so Windows 10 could talk to it and have the Windows 10 machine hit THAT share.

Also, they are 102 releases behind on their software so I get to address that at a later date.

Ugh.

Moments of clarity like that are as rare as hen's teeth.

I use the SD card slot more than I care to admit.

I want the Air's ports and the Pro's display. Unfortunately, I cannot have that :(

Once the reserve charge went away, you indeed lost everything. One of the biggest drawbacks. Also, some of the professional units with built in barcode scanners had a great big reset button in the battery bay. Very easy to hit it and lose everything.

It's why I want a retina iMac and will probably opt for a MacBook Pro over the Air I want.

It's really noticeable to me now.

Edit: "Post office" is my iPhone's artistic license being exercised. I've given up correcting it long ago.
