| the "idea" is it - you got that right... people need to look around right NOW at things and see their needs. EC2? look at your projects - how many GB are they? now you want to run that over your network up your ISP limited data rate to process on EC2? maybe 5% of the people in the US have a fast enough ISP rate to make that possible... to buy a computer today based on something that will probably not be a real solution for 5 more years is not smart. then the ISP's are starting to charge more for data caps, overages etc - soon your ISP/network bill will be adding overage fees once too many users start moving tens to hundreds of GB a month around to the dream of remote processing like EC2. and for those who think these all in one macs are great - just for grins - seriously answer this question publicly for others knowledge or think it to yourself and see your reply (i love my macs, but it is very expensive to have preparations for 24/7/365 with them) answer this. right now. bam your workstation goes down. dead, won't boot. could be power supply dead, could be motherboard dead - it is unresponsive. what do you do? how long before you are working again? you could be in the middle of your biggest project of the year, deadline is today 5PM before everyone goes on christmas or end of year holiday vacations - what do you do? dann ___________________________________________________________________ Dann Stubbs - dann@darkskydigital.com Dark Sky Digital - http://www.darkskydigital.com http://www.RenderKing.com Value Priced C4D, VRAY Render Farm ___________________________________________________________________ On Dec 20, 2013, at 3:38 PM, Tony Romain wrote:
