So, what are we missing?
I'm aware of the fact that Lenovo is new on the servermarket, but there are still some points I really would like to see from Lenovo.
1)
The company I work for, also distributes IBM System X. The 1U dual socket rackserver is one of the most sold System X servers. I really would like to see an announcement of Lenovo for such similar server (RD110?).
2)
Virtualisation is a hot issue at the moment. I'm noticing a higher demand of VMWare from SMB customers. One of the biggest costs of a serverroom is power and cooling. Customers are looking for more power efficient solutions and running several virtual servers on one (or more) physical server(s), is a solution for this issue. Lenovo should offer VMWare OEM options as Lenovo options, like all other server vendors do.
3)
The demand for external storage is rising rapidly. Offices are getting more digital and new laws are pushing enduser to use more storage. And it's not only effecting larger company's but also the SMB market.
Lenovo is the only server vendor, who can't offer external storage devices. A customer will most likely choose a vendor who can offer both servers and storage.
IBM uses LSI OEM (DS3000 series) and DELL uses EMC OEM for their low end storage offerings. (By the way: it's verly likely that DELL's contract with EMC will not be continued)
In my opinion, Lenovo should find an OEM storage partner, so we can offer Lenovo branded low end external disk storage.
As mentioned in the beginning of this message, I'm aware of the fact that Lenovo is new to the servermarket and that it's not possible to announce a fully lined up series of servers and options in the early start. But if Lenovo really wants a portion of the servermarket, the mentioned issues should be addressed.
What's your opinion about this of what would you like to see from Lenovo?

ericjmail,
you make some great points!
if you don't mind, i'd like to address a few of them below...
2. all of the ThinkServer models support 2048x1536 @ 32-bit color over VGA. it only takes 12.58 MB of video RAM to drive this resolution. all ThinkServers have at least 16 MB of on-board video memory. short of installing a secondary video card to drive 2560x1600 over DVI-D, you should have plenty of resolution in a native system -- especially for a server.
4. server 2008 standard and enterprise editions are available options. they're listed in all of the ThinkServer datasheets found here. option part numbers can be found here.
7. the rails are available, albeit in a slightly obscure way. i've posted information about obtaining them here.
a few questions i have...
3. have you checked your currently-installed drivers in device manager to see if they match the versions posted to the website? it's possible that these drivers are already installed, hence the message you're seeing.
5. how many drives would you like to have? 10? how is your current RAID topography set up? if given more drives, how would you like it to be set up?
6. would you prefer 2.5" drives over 3.5" or would you prefer the option to install 2.5" drives in a 3.5" bay?
thank you for your candid feedback.

We have created account, and password, but when we try to rent a movie is says password is invalid. It is not, because we can access the websute using it. Anyone help me. We have checked over and over. What are we missing?
On your mac/Win PC can you log into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID and password??
Can you download one of the free songs/books/ videos (look under Free on iTunes)? -
In fact there is no response to clicking the icon.
Just a slight update that this does not seem to be consistent so I really must be missing something. In some cases Maverick's does seem to leave On My Mac calendars alone when CalDAV calendars are added while in other cases the On My Mac calendars seem to disappear. I really am not sure what might be going on here.

How to know what are the missing items in 'Collect Files' ?
I used 'Collect Files' to gather my medias for my project, but it's giving me this error in log:
Number of missing items: 1
This project is pretty huge so how can I find out which items is missing ?
I don't see any offline layers in my sequences...
Thank you.Do you have a file that is bigger than 2gb in size ? I know that on some cases Collect file won't move file with size over 2gb (if i'm correct, not sure about this).
If you are on CS4, open you collected file project and type "missing" in the search text field of the project panel, and AE will show you all the missing files.
You can also have a look at the log file created when you collected the file to see wat file is missing.
Hope that helps. -
My wife has had her MacBook for about a year. She was originally using Apple ID we can call #1. She later created and began using Apple ID #2. I just got a MacBook and began using Apple ID #1. When I set up my bookmarks in Safari,what I thought were her old bookmarks were there. When I deleted them, while we were on two separate Apple IDs, I deleted hers. (Fortunately, I backed them up first.) Now when I add bookmarks they show on her separate Apple ID. I checked and it seems that she is signed out and the old ID has even been deleted as an option on her Mac. Because of my work we need to keep these things separate. What are we missing?
In System Preferences>iCloud if you click Account Details do you each see your own unique Apple ID?

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (apparently because they are PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?
Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc. -
What are the benefits of buying an iPad 2 with wi-fi, or with 3G when I already have an iPhone 4 with 3G? My plan with was to go for wi-fi and connect to the internet through my iPhone 4. Am I missing out on anything by not getting 3G?

When I go to upgrade my itunes software I get a message that I do not have enough space. My hard drive has 120 gb free and the files are only 42 mb. What am I missing?
You Hard Drive might be framented or have bad sectors. Use Windows utility to deframent the drive and Scan Disk for file allocation errors or bad sectors.

We have three computers (two pcs and one mac) on our home sharing network. When I buy a song on my pc it is automatically downloading it to my husband's pc - but not my daugher's mac. The settings on each library do not indicate any items should automatically download. What am I missing here? This is a relatively recent thing I just noticed. It was not always happening in this way. Help. Both pcs are on Windows 7. Thanks in advance for any help. My husband and I don't always like the same songs so I need help to get back to marital bliss....
I think I found the answer to my own problemin case anyone experienced the same thing. There is a separate spot in itunes under preferences to allow for automatic downloads from other devices. It seems unrelated to home sharing. I unchecked the boxes under the "store" section and that appears to have taken care of the issue.

I have the up-to-date Creative Cloud version of Photoshop, but none of the 3D options are active in the menu. What am I missing?
I tried clicking the "Get More Content" but didn't find anything which would apply to the basic 3D functions in the menu.

I am unable to access my email from Charter.net. I can sign in with my password, then a message comes up which says "The plug-in for this page has been disabled. Click here to manage your plug-ins." All of my plug-ins are enabled. What am I missing?
After a great deal of searching I ran across the suggestion to disable all plug-ins and then, one by one, enable them until finally the problem was solved. I am not sure which plug-in was causing the problem, as I am satisfied to have the problem solved. I am going to leave the rest of the plug-in disabled.

Besides my main iPhoto library, I have a secondary library that holds 74.000 pix.
I have now run this (huge)library through Duplicate Anihilator and it found (besides tons of duplicates which I then erased) a few thousand "missing photos".
a) what are they?
b) what should I do about them?
Thanks!
PolPol, missing photos are probably photos, were the original image file is missing. try to edit or export one of them, if you cant, the original is missing. You have only the preview of the version left. Sometimes you can reconnect the originals by rebuilding the library with iPhoto library manager. If not, drag the thumbnails of the images in question to a folder on your desktop to save the previews as jpegs.
