But I went to the hard classes in college Computer Science ( Not MIS ). It costs a bit more up front to produce good efficient code. That code performs and does not require a super-fast liquid CPU to run things, <br><br>But that might be good. I means to me building a good Linux home office infrastructure will be very cost effective.<br><br>In the case of development, developers are subject to "Business and Finance Managers" and they want a path that yields the most money and costs the least. There is always some resource that pops up to make software development less costly to
develop and the cost of that in the end is overhead and overall application performance. <br><br>In the case of the schools that I consult for is a saleability and responsiveness. <br><br>David <br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Wolfger <wolfger@gmail.com><br>To: MDLUG's Main discussion list <mdlug@mdlug.org><br>Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 9:58:35 AM<br>Subject: Re: [mdlug] What Intel Giveth, Microsoft Taketh Away<br><br>
