No, I was assuming that "person buying a years worth of groceries" was spending hundreds of dollars and if he was there "just so I can get something for dinner" that he probably was not spending hundreds of dollars. Then I gave a real world example like milk. The grocer makes his living from the people who spend a lot of money there. He keeps the others from whining and bothering his real customers by having an express lane, when it makes sense to do so. That is why it is not always open. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 7:56 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: thread quanta and chkroot.cmd thingy Well you are assuming that people who buy milk only buy milk... Everyone has to do a monthly shop sooner or later :) Thus the question is... If you're doing a monthly shop are you less likely to get upset if there's a queue? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Stockard [mailto:JStockard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 17 September 2003 12:51 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: thread quanta and chkroot.cmd thingy If I understand you correctly, the grocer should penalize the guy who is spending hundreds of dollars in his store so he can accommodate the guy who is spending 3 dollars. You make about 6 cents on a gallon of milk, so if you just want milk, actually it is not worth the grocers time to even use the cash register. This is a great example of a terminal server though! -----Original Message----- From: Joe Shonk [mailto:joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 6:53 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: thread quanta and chkroot.cmd thingy Eventually the work gets completed, granted those with large shopping carts get penalized (but hey, shouldn't they. I don't particularly like getting stuck behind the person buying a years worth of groceries just so I can get something for dinner) If the lines continue to get longer, (thus a longer queue) then you have a bottleneck. It's time to upgrade. ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor: ThinPrint http://www.thinprint.com ********************************************************** Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: http://thethin.net/links.cfm For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor: ThinPrint http://www.thinprint.com ********************************************************** Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: http://thethin.net/links.cfm For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor: ThinPrint http://www.thinprint.com ********************************************************** Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: http://thethin.net/links.cfm For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm
