I was just thinking how nice it would be to run a restaurant with a computer system.

So, I abandoned the restaurant world to do IT support, and I can only say, “I feel your pain.”

But I say it with cigar in hand, and with an Alabama accent, and I mean it: Computers should make our lives easier.

When the network goes down, it’s like a snow day where I work.

“If only everything could just be Apple-based”

Alas, even Apple-based systems can lose a disk and come crashing down. (BTW, I’m not suggesting that Friday’s problem was necessarily a disk problem.)

Lobster Boy–Since this is the first time I know of that this kind of glitch occurred (to this degree, thatis), I don’t know what backup systems are or aren’t in place. But you make a great point. I’ll ask on Monday what’s up. If only everything could just be Apple-based….

Sounds like time they hire someone with the technical smarts for a day to build some redundancy into your system for back up. Many servers can run parallel systems, where one is basically a back up, keeping the server online at all times. Yes, it costs money, but so does loosing the system mid rush! Peace of mind always has a price.
