      Diversify.
      Hardware and Software divisions. He could have had both.

      Microsoft and hardware... I give you the MS Surface... A great idea,... but poorly built... they suck - the drivers suck... and the reliability is crap (opinion from what I have supported / seen)

      Well, agreed, but if they would have started earlier. It might have been better.

      Or worse. Have they shown an ability to improve?

            TS: I'm sorry sir, that answer is not in my script. I am grossly underqualified to support anything, the only skills I have are talking on the phone and reading from a premade document.

                  Yeah, their track record on software is decent, but far from rock solid, too.

                    As of late, they're not doing bad at all. (Windows 10, Server 2012 R2)...

                            Got my PureCon (its actually called Pure Accelerate, but I'm calling it PureCon) ticket, just booked plane tickets and the hotel. This thing is actually happening.

                              Not to be confused with PurCon, the convention for old lonely spinsters.

                                I thought that one was about a water filter.

                                  I'm drawing up some generic quotes for server systems, still considering options and choices.

                                  Support etc.

                                    Reading through the "What Can I Bring?" page on the TSA website and some of this stuff is like "Somebody must have attempted it at least once before to be put on this list."

                                    Some of the things that I have already found are:

                                    • Gravy (yes, the liquid that you put on food such as mashed potatoes or chicken fried steak)
                                    • Fidget Spinners (already has made the list)
                                    • Duct Tape (well that must have been an interesting trip)
                                    • Dynamite (really? Who are you, Yosemite Sam?)

                                      Literal excerpt:

                                      Light Saber
                                      Sadly, the technology doesn't currently exist to create a real light saber. However, you can pack a toy light saber in your carry-on or checked bag. May the force be with you.
