1314 -
131401 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Morris linked to the record on 000302
131402 - recommending installing an Intel main board, ref SDS 45 4717, and
131403 - asking Morris for a recommendation on the board to buy.  Also asked
131404 - for comment on service record. ref SDS 45 0001

1316 -
1317 - 1122 received letter from Morris
1318 -
131801 - Morris submits a short letter saying the motherboard is suspect, but
131802 - does not provide diagnostic steps or issues that may have been
131803 - overlooked in the record on 000302, as asked in my letter. ref DIT 1
131804 - 0001 He says Intel makes good products, and suggests getting a second
131805 - opinion because he works for the firm. ref DRT 1 0001
131806 -
131807 - The letter sent to Morris asks for guidance on which Intel product to
131808 - purchase. ref DIT 1 1782  Morris' reply that Intel makes good products
131809 - is not responsive, reflecting cursory consideration of a hurried work
131810 - practice, cited on 990718. ref SDS 30 5251
131811 - ..
131812 - Submitted ref DIT 2 0001 asking for clarification of guidance on
131813 - which Intel motherboard to buy.

131816 -      Subject Index Design and Requirements
131817 -
131818 -      Suggested meeting this weekend to develop requirements for
131819 -      enhancing the Subject Index. ref DIT 2 4392  Cited Morris'
131820 -      request on 990427 for SDS capability which he was unable to
131821 -      explain. ref SDS 27 8159  On 990524 he set out requirements for
131822 -      subject management, ref SDS 28 4774, showing he is unfamiliar
131823 -      with SDS capability. ref SDS 28 0786  On 990525 sent letter
131824 -      offering to demonstrate subject management. ref SDS 29 7072
131825 -
131826 -
1319 -
1320 -
1321 - 1222
1322 -   ..
132201 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Morris saying he needs to spend
132202 - time with Teri, evidently indicating he cannot invest time in
132203 - developing the subject management capability he asked about earlier.
132204 -
132205 - Morris suggests getting an Intel board with SDRAM and a BX or better
132206 - chipset. ref DRT 2 1204
132207 -
132208 - Need explanation of how to recognize a chipset that is "better" than
132209 - a "BX."  What is available?
132210 -
132211 - I checked the web and found listings for LX, CX, even ZX, I think. But
132212 - there is no explanation that lists a progression of features and
132213 - capablities that show the level of quality and performance. Is BX near
132214 - the top, such that AX or 0X is better, or is it near the bottom, so
132215 - that CX and LX are better than BX?  Is there any order that means
132216 - anything in relation to Morri's suggestion to get BX or better?
132217 - ..
132218 - There is discussion of form factor, and various specifications
132219 - are listed without explanation of distinctions, nor indication of how
132220 - to determine whether a particular case requires one factor or another.
