[THIN] Re: Hybrid question?

How do you keep the OS patched for newer vulnerabilities?  Or even Antivirus
updated?   Spyware?

I have a number of old P5 machines dating from early 1996 still ambling
happily along on Windows 95, monitors and all.

Interesting point, the clients we have in service 10+ years are moslty X
Terms, so they are NOT PC hardware :)

 

Also, I never suggested monitors lasted for ten years, the question was
about thin clients.

With the older integrated Wyse's that had the monitor built in we had all
sorts of problems...bios, screen, etc. even had a few smoke and catch
fire...those were the days...with our WinXPe clients we have all sorts of
problems with power supplies 3 years out.  You can't tell me that  any sort
of PC hardware especially monitors lasts 10 years in a business enviroment
reliably..I'm not buying it.

Has anyone seen a situation where the Thin Client just stops working? I
have seen Wyse terminals (3350s - I THINK) where they will start failing,
with the symptoms being that they won't keep a connection. You would think
being solid state that shouldn't happen...
