Rackmount Ranger
The Rackmount Ranger, ISC's trademarked and copyrighted cartoon figure has landed his own site. The Rackmount Ranger grew out of the red ISC man in our logo. As such, he has become the spokesman for all issues related to rack mounting, and is now available to answer your questions on his own "blog." You can reach him at www.askrackmountranger.com. Here is the banner for the new website:
Periodically, we will post one of Rackmount Ranger's more interesting questions and answers for the benefit of our clients. Here is the inaugural one. Question for the Ranger: Can the ERK-Z4 brackets be used to bolt down any cabinet?
The short answer is no. The long answer is not so simple
as it really depends on the building codes in your
municipality. In general there are three issues related
to bolting down a computer cabinet:
· Structure of the sub-floor and/or raised floor · Anchor bolts · Anchor brackets Read the rest of the entry on the askrackmountranger.com site. Q: What is the difference between a tetrahedron and a pyramid? All correct answers will be placed into a pool for a random drawing at the end of the month. The winner will receive a free 25 foot reel of reusable velcro cable ties (part number MD88-25RLBK), plus free ground shipping. Send your answers to: Jack Burlin See next month's newsletter for the winner and the correct answer. Answer from January's Newsletter. A: Lee Marvin had the title role, although Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne were the major stars of the film.
The winner was Tom Nowak.
Congratulations from ISC and the
Rackmount Ranger! |
A Kevinism is a funny or intriguing statement or idea from our Vice President of Sales, Kevin Hunt. Kevin is a big fan of Sandra Bullock, Pizza Inn black olive pizza, and Dr. Pepper (not necessarily in that order). He is not a big fan of Chinese food, seafood, or other types of "dead" stuff. Kevin likes to "test" people to see if they can understand what he is telling them in Kevinese. Sometimes the results are interesting, while sometimes Kevin ends up making verbal connections that don't really exist and have an alternate meaning. Not too long ago Kevin announced we were going to eat lunch at the Salacious Soupe' restaurant. What Kevin was trying to say is that we were going to "Souper Salad" which is a very nice chain of restaurants. In Kevinese, salad somehow turns into salacious.
The funny thing is that Kevin did not realize what
salacious means. Here is the definition:
Kevin likes to play around with words, but I am sure he did not mean to label one of our regular restaurants as being a salacious facility.

Over the past 19 months, I have defined and discussed the various personality traits men and women exhibit, based on their preference for the position of the toilet seat. I have also discussed how conflicts arise, and how most of those conflicts can be resolved by one person either temporarily or permanently shifting their preference. I hope you enjoyed reading the story as much as I enjoyed gathering the data and writing about the personalities I discovered. I hope you gained some enlightenment, and maybe had a good laugh or two. After having read the book, if you can at least understand what motivates your partner, then you can possibly change or adapt. Failing to change or adapt, you invite the consequences. I personally have enjoyed the transition from Philosopher King to Man of Leisure. For the life of me, I can't imagine why I used to do things differently. Hopefully there will be an equally lasting effect on you. One thing is for sure though. You will never be able to look at a salt shaker again without thinking about the toilet seat. Jack Burlin |
