Re: [LAU] System Restore...

You know, I didnt even give the Nettapp system a thought and you raise
an interesting point! While I have supported and built the networks
that Netapp machines reside in, I have not performed any admin on
them... But I know some talent who has!! I also have some SE contacts
at Intervision who can steer me away from the patent danger zone!

I sure as hell don't want my audio box spamming me day and night and
ordering up new hard drives for itself on a whim!! :)
