250905 - C17 purchased from HP with order H114355414 placed on 101021, for
250906 - efficient usability (see scope, ref SDS H3 635Y) providing and using

250912 - Earlier today, Fry's completed configuration of c17, and released for
250913 - use, reported on 101115 1805. ref SDS H7 NX9O This was accomplished
250914 - with considerably less effort than required for c16, reported on

250917 - ..
250918 - Ryan Duldulao, Customer Service Engineer for Fry's, used experience
250919 - configuring c16 last year to again overcome cultural resistance
250920 - against customer requirements to set up 64-bit computers with
250921 - multi-boot operating systems explained on 090702. ref SDS E5 5A8Y
250922 - Case study on c16 shows Ryan succeeded where everyone else failed

250924 - system, reported earlier today on 090715 2123. ref SDS F4 PX6N

250927 - Procurement policy avoided using 64-bit technology for many years
250928 - while Microsoft gained experience from customers trying to use Vista,
250929 - and discovering Vista prevented doing daily work, reported on 090709
250930 - 2020, ref SDS E9 TG9M, and cited in case study on 090715 2123.
250931 - ref SDS F4 EE9I
250933 - ..
250934 - Three (3) major problems remain...
250935 -
250936 - 1. Windows 7 has complex "permissions" system causing
250937 - pervasive and inexplicable "access denied" notices that
250938 - block transferring files between computers on the network,
250939 - blocks converting SDS records into HTML files, prevents
250940 - transferring files to the Internet, and fails to open
250941 - records on the Internet to specified address (see pending
250942 - issue #3, ref SDS 0 A85L, and review of "Permissions" and
250943 - Administrator, below. ref SDS 0 AW6O)
250945 - ..
250946 - C17 using Windows 7 does not enable anytime, anywhere
250947 - intelligence for saving lives, time, and money, applied the
250948 - past 10 years, beginning on 971021 1350. ref SDS 11 O25H
250949 -
250950 - [On 120501 1038 instructions on using Credential Manager
250951 - to resolve conflicts transferring files between
250952 - computers through the network. ref SDS K5 GZ6N
250954 - ..
250955 - 2. Device drivers for running GeForce GT 420 video graphics
250956 - adapater with Windows XP were not provided by HP to
250957 - configure c17, reported by Fry's on 101115 1805.
250958 - ref SDS H7 NX9O
250960 - ..
250961 - As a result, c17 cannot be used to maintain productivity
250962 - with Windows XP while Microsoft continues to resolve
250963 - transformation issues with Windows 7, explained in issue 1,
250964 - above. ref SDS 0 FU4N
250966 - ..
250967 - 3. Windows 7 32-bit opeating system could be used for c17 to
250968 - transition to 64-bit technology; however, Microsoft has not
250969 - resolved permission configuration issues that "deny access"
250970 - transferring records between computers and to the Internet,
250971 - ref SDS 0 AW6O, thus preventing the primary objective of
250972 - technology to enable anytime, anywhere intelligence for
250973 - saving lives, time, and money, per issue #1. ref SDS 0 FU4N
250975 - ..
250976 - SDS runs much faster on c17, HP Pavilion Elite HPE 490t with 6 cores,
250977 - (3.2 GHz), as specified in the sales order listed on 101021 0953.
250978 - ref SDS H3 635Y, compared to C16, HDX 18t Core-2 Quad QX9300 (2.53
250979 - GHz), and in following ways...
250980 -
250981 - 1. C17 takes only 2 minutes to launch SDS and archive the
250982 - record for the first time each day, rather than 4 minutes
250983 - required by c16 (HDX 18t notebook, 4-core 2.3 GHz.
250984 - processor.
250986 - ..
250987 - 2. Saving large complex records with 300 or more subjects
250988 - takes about 1 second, whereas on c16 takes 2 seconds.
250990 - ..
250991 - 3. Netbeans launch and compiling updated code for SDS Java
250992 - development take 10 and 5 seconds each; this is a huge
250993 - improvement using c16 (HDX 18t notebook) that takes 2 - 3
250994 - minutes for program launch, and 30 to 60 seconds to compile
250995 - program changes. Since these tasks occur often during the
250996 - day, c17 provides significant time and cost savings.
250998 - ..
250999 - 4. Full file monthly backup 6.2 GB on c16 4-core 2.3 GHz
251000 - processor takes 42 minutes transferring directly to the
251001 - second 250 GB internal hard drive; same work on c17 with
251002 - 6-core 3.2 GHz processor takes 22 minutes transferring to
251003 - the 2nd 1 TB disk on c17.
251005 - ..
251006 - 5. Navigating SDS Subject Index for large accounts is much
251007 - faster.
251009 - ..
251010 - 6. Ergonomics - configuring c17 HP Pavilion Elite HPE 490t
251011 - desktop for HDMI 1080p video standard with 32" screen using
251012 - Vizio VA320M television monitor advances toward "paperless
251013 - office" model of Knowledge Management displaying a larger
251014 - share of work, with increased comprehension and less time
251015 - and fatigue shuffling files on the screen to compare,
251016 - contrast, and transfer content efficiently and accruately,
251017 - explained previously on 101015 1212, ref SDS H1 F069, and
251018 - the next day on 101016 0712. ref SDS H2 BO6K
251020 - ..
251021 - 7. Bluetooth wireless mouse configured with c17 seems to
251022 - require less energy and time wasted restoring connections
251023 - that required using the wireless mouse with c16. Though
251024 - Bluetooth wirless mouse setup for c17 took considerable
251025 - effort to resolve hardware problems, reported on 110113
251026 - 1225, ref SDS J6 RY5G, batteries have lasted over a week,
251027 - and there have been no loss of contact. C16 batteries on
251028 - the same mouse last only 2 - 3 days, and require disconnect
251029 - and reconnect several times a day to establish the signal
251030 - on c16. This saves a lot of time and frustration handling
251031 - batteries and connections.
251033 - ..
251034 - 8. Multi-boot operating systems for Windows XP, Windows 7
251035 - 32-bit, and Windows 7 64-bit together provide efficient
251036 - continuity of work when system failures occur that take
251037 - prolonged investigation and collaboration with vendors to
251038 - resolve.
