The 2k is on a 2002 vintage machine on its last leg. My main machine is a dual boot xp and linux. I want to build another machine before the end of the year. I like to have a hot standby machine and I don't right now. The next machine will be the latest with a lot of RAM.
Sunday night 2am and I had just about finished work and was looking forward to bed. I hit something and I couldn't switch from window to window or display what windows were open. Since Monday was a sales day, I didn't want to wake up to a machine that didn't work with the phone ringing. So I worked until 4:30 am getting it working. A hot standby computer and I could have gone to bed and had the backup machine the next day.
Does anybody know anything about NAS. Someone suggested it for storage. I gather that its kind of like hard drives shared between two computers. Just the storage is shared as I understand it, so its not a server. I haven't had time to research it yet. The intention would be to keep the two computers current by sharing the same disk? No backups to speak of. I'm just guessing as I really don't know anything about it.
