This morning I finished updating menus, programs
(called "jobs" in BOS-speak), report formats, &
fields (called "keys" in BOS-speak).
I'll continue some review & testing, of course.

You speak BOSistan as well as Revoltistan?

Im impressed

A true Scotsman

BTW, not paying the yearly license fees doesn't
mean I use the right to use it. There's just no
support. But the company I bought it from
doesn't even exist anymore. And the BOS National
(whatever its current name is) isn't worth the cost.

Tis an anachronistic thing.

Luxury. We only wish we had rattlesnakes to lull us to sleep with rhythmic sound of their tails. We were smothered in hot coals and then lit ablaze with Scottish kilt fumes and we were thankful.

Right, I had to get up in the morning at nine o'clock at night, an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of hot coal, work fifty hours a day collecting rattlesnake poison in my blood and be happy about it....or some drunken Scotsman would come by, beat me with a shillelagh whilst dancing around in a kilt wafting his horrid stench everywhere.

Oh no, not a shillelagh?

A shillelagh is an irish device.

I think you mean one of these.

There's old tech, & there's young whippersnapper tech that you know.

I just realized that looking up the OUI part of the MAC address is not useful in identifying the actual device manufacturer - we're trying to identify a machine from the DHCP lease information.

I am old tech..... but I am not some big pansified sissy who is afraid of new tech like some fetid old geezer Scottish groundskeepers who post on RF

But not with any machines from NBI.

Tis not fear of new tech.
I have a son to handle it for me.
There are issues....
Pros:
- On line payments.
- Support.
- Better web presence.
Cons:
- Increased cost.
- Less control over audit trail.
- Internet interruptions.
- Running the old system in parallel for other
businesses means more systems to manage.
- The Unknown.
