The only issue we have with the PC's is that everyone need to install the software on their own machine. In Unix you install the software once on the server and it's done. Same with updates Thanks Paul Lapointe Manager PCB Design Mitel 613-592-2122 Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

We are currently running on UNIX servers. They are going to replace them soon. Cost wise between a UNIX server and a PC workstation it is pretty much even. My supervisor wants to know if switching to the PC workstation version would be beneficial. We only have 3 board designers. The engineers rlog in to the servers to use Concept. We have 8-10 engineers that use Concept though only a few at any given time. Any thoughts or opinions. Thank you.
