Hi Grey Cloud,

This is fascinating.

What is your take on the difference between this usage on
Franke3nstein (w8), W7 with touch screens, and iPad?


Each has their niche markets.
W7 touch screens in the nursing homes here are wall mounted and networked.
A lot of Doctors in their office are using W8.1 Pro on laptops with the unit
synced to the Hospital data base.
The only iPad I've seen running was in an Eye-Ears-Nose-Throat doctors
office. I think it was more his choice, but it still synced his data to the
Hospital data base.
I'm sure people will migrate to the type of platform that best suits their
needs.

My take would be that iPad would be the best for this.
Batteries last a long time, don't crash, even an
Doctor can figure it out.

Never saw any of the Windows units crashing. But they do use top of the
line hardware.


By the way, I was serious about wanting to know what you
did to make Frankenstein more useful for your customers.
you seem like you are in the thick of it and would have
a lot of good tips to share.

The key point is if the customer is constantly moving around... like doctors
do, or have their hands fulls most of the time and don't have time to get to
a terminal or keyboard. What I have seen are people that have either dirty
hands or possibly biological contamination on their hands or gloves usually
use the end of their pencil to touch the screen with. But all of these
mobile devices have to be synched to a data base... like iPad to an iMac
running OS X server. Or MS Surface Pro 3 that synchs up to windows server
IIS.


Just out of curiosity, how are they sanitizing these devices?

(I hate trips to the Allopath [medical doctor] as their offices
are Super Spreaders and I always wind up with 15 different
variations of the common cold virus.)

20 minutes in an autoclave.

Good question, bad answer :-)


LOL!

I've heard that the best thing is putting them inside a UV light box to kill
all of the germs.

variations of the common cold virus.)

Best place to catch a disease, IMO.

Hi Guy,

You all remember when M$ canceled their newsgroups and
went to censored forums?

I kind of freaked out a bit. I have had to use them, found
that if you said anything critical of M$ that you got your
question pulled, and sometimes got outright lied to.

Two pearls of wisdom for you "T". I wish I had learned and taken them to heart
while a child.


“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more
difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”

-Benjamin Franklin


"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do."

-Benjamin Franklin



All true. An undisciplined tough can really get you into
trouble.


Do you understand how the above aphorisms might apply to your participation on
Usenet? This is constructive criticism and you should take it as such.


Yes and No. If open and honest dialog is called for to correct and
trouble shoot problems, you are always going to **** someone off.

If your favorite this or that can do no wrong and some one points
out that it can and does do wrong, the feathers (and snot) can fly.

Not everyone on a Usenet is there to share information, help others,
or to learn from others. Some are there to build their own
selves up by condescending over others. Dig a hole under someone
else to make yourself seem taller. You just have to adjust your
kill file list of ass holes.

This tends to be more on Windows groups, but is not isolated to it.


Ahhh grasshopper....... one day.


uh. Cough, cough. I am "the dude!"

I like grasshopper too, but I won't admit it.

My understanding is that it is scheduled for September (although it's
little more than a rumor at this stage; schedules *do* get changed,
and it can always be later than planned).

What is your "good authority" that says otherwise? Please provide a
link.


Its coming! We all need to be ready! And a special
thank you to all that are helping me to do that.


???? A non-answer to the question I asked?

Is there no answer because there is no "good authority RTM will be in
late June to mid July"?


Message-ID:

I work on HP things that do have a deadline. They (MS & HP) want it ready
before Christmas, and before that happens lots of testing has to be done by
OEMs.
