Bruce, that sounds like quite a nice setup, I have one question, a two parter: Is the computer equipped with a battery backup, so the police are not summoned every time there is a power outage, and is there a failsafe system in case the computer itself should fail, or lockup, etc? On the subject of computers, I was sent a story, supposedly true: A customer calls a computer help line and complains his monitor screen is totally dark. The tech asks him if he has a cursor, he answers "What's that?" "A flashing spot on the screen." "No" "Is the brightness control turned clockwise?" .....Cust: "I think so", Tech: "Is the black cord from the monitor connected to the wall outlet?" Cust: "Yes" Tech: "Is the gray cord from the monitor to the CPU connected?" Cust:" What's the CPU?" Tech:" the big box where you load in the disks." Cust: "I can't tell, I can't see too well here since the lights have been out all morning, due to the power failure." Tech: " Do you have the box the whole system came in, with the books, etc?" Cust: "Yes, is it THAT serious?" Tech: "Yes, you must return the whole system to the store where you bought it." Cust:" WHat should I tell them?" Tech: "Tell them to refund your money, that you are too stupid to OWN a computer!" ....Ken B
