| Hi guys.
A few noted from the road. My job took me to Buffalo NY and then to Denver. We did a full network install in Buffalo. The customer wanted to upgrade to a Win 2000 network and we provide all the modified workstations and specialty applications to process endoscopic images. They run off Sybase SQL. This place had a conversion from guess what? A LANTASTIC network! Can you believe it? They were running DOS, machines with thinet. For them, the place looked like the Starship Enterprise when we were through.
In Denver, the customer wanted a new server and we upgraded them from Win 95 to 2000 and upgraded their SQL to the most recent version. The hard part there is knowing what to save and restore. With medical images it can take hours to run a backup and restore. I ran it across the LAN using the Xcopy commands rather than wait for a tape. This saved considerable time. Both installs had a few bumps but came out smelling like a rose.
Well fellas, back in the home base for at least a week. Am going to pick up the 70-216 for sure and maybe after the next round of trips I will take the exam. Hope to check in more, even on the road. | |

| Sounds like a lot of hard work Andronda, but lots of great experience.
I don't envy the travel though. I do a little travel in my current job, and I don't care for it much. It gets old real fast. I hope you enjoy the travel. I'm just a homebody I guess. | |
