I work from home two days a week, and for the first little while of this I was using my 55" TV with my trusty old 19" 5:4 Soyo LCD that I won in 2005. When somebody left the company a while back they sent back their 24" and you better believe I snatched that up to take my TV's place as my primary monitor. Now I can work while watching The Price Is Right  and at the office I use matched 23" monitors.

Aunt Beth posted:So there's a great little book put out by The Register called A Brief History of Virtualization, that's published on their site as a collection of articles. Here's the one that describes the introduction as virtualization as a concept, if not initially a word, on the S/360. It was introduced as a way to allow for interactivity, time sharing, and obviously a more efficient use of a tremendously expensive system: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/14/brief_history_of_virtualisation_part_2/ See that switch panel (for lack of a better term) behind the lady's left shoulder? My boss from two jobs ago had that on the wall (we worked out of his basement). God I just realized how goony that sounded.

In today's Misadventures in Userland: User 1 got into her remote office and her desktop's USB wifi adapter wasn't working. Had her move it into another USB port, started working again. So far, so good. A little bit later, she puts in a frantic ticket. She has Microsoft on hold and needs the admin password to let them remote in. I remote in myself and am immediately greeted with "YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED. PLEASE CALL MICROSOFT AT 1-855... SECURITY ALERT. YOUR IP ADDRESS..." blaring through my speakers. "Did you call Microsoft?" "Yes! They're still on hold!" "But did you call actual Microsoft, or the number on this popup?" "The number on ... ohhhhh" ------------------------------------------- User 2 has been failing to grasp that she can't do a Skype meeting from an RDP session into her office PC, as she can't expect that computer to see or hear her. I invite her to send me a meeting invite to test, I join the meeting and remote into her home PC. She still cant understand why Skype is showing a picture of her empty office at work. This after repeated explanations (in writing!) why that won't work, installing Office via 365 on her home PC to have Skype4Biz available, and a step by step how-to of joining a Skype meeting from home. And she even says to me, "I'm not a moron!"

A voicemail I got way back at my first job, transcribed verbatim: ""Hello, your page won't load. I have been trying for the last hour to get to it a number of different ways, such as going through links from my local office's site, and it still won't load. Somebody at your office said there is no problem, well I'm calling to tell you there is a problem. You won't be able to reach me, so I won't leave any contact information. Goodbye.""

Yesterday I told a remote user via email to take something to her local FedEx store, and wrote "Call me when you get there, 312-555-1234. I'll authorize them to charge the packing to our account" I missed her call but called her back and she had paid for the packing out of pocket, which she'll get reimbursed for, but she said the account number was rejected. I asked her what account number she gave them: "312-555-1234"

I was remoted into somebody's laptop today and noticed that their msn.com email account, which is set up in Outlook, is using a .ost data file. Does that mean she might have some sort of online archiving option from MSN to put her .pst files of older email into?

Thanks Ants posted:.OST files are a local mailbox cache, not relating to archiving. That I know. I guess another way to put it is, does msn.com email essentially use Exchange, and if so is online archiving also offered?
