Tip for networkers: Spaces can be used in file paths when running Windows Vista Premium and Ultimate. After several weeks of research this little overlooked item cured a problem with print serving. Thanks out to Mark at Northeast and Kalim at Tristate Insurance for finding the cure. This one was tough. One of my tech friends was amazed and flabbergasted after trying this procedure. He sends apologies for his lack of faith in this discovery.
If you are a member of a network please remember to shut down ALL programs before leaving. This means all utilities and programs not vital to the operating system. Leaving your files open will nullify the chance to back them up. This will be extremely important if you need to restore. And damn it all, don't blame the tech because you were negligent. This does not help matters in any way.
It's been mentioned before, any IT/IS tech type is a walking target. I may give shirts out to all my tech friends with bullseye circles on them. It is so frustrating to contend with the attitude that since the computers are not absolutely perfect we'll lay the blame on our resident tech-type nerdling. That geek is the one that keeps you up and running. Machines are imperfect since they were made by imperfect people. I don't think the only Perfect One to walk the earth has much to do with your computers. Well, I do pray to him a lot about the business. And users. And patience.
"And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?"
~Romans 2:3
