When you transfer to another base ie Edmonton to Borden will your personal drive follow you?

Good2Golf said:Eye, I've had my Q:drive moved for my last few postings, the most recent being only four months ago. It was about 600MB all-up. Didn't have to use my CD-ROM back-up. Maybe I asked nicely and got special treatment? Maybe LoneWolf might get his moved if he asks nicely as well? ???
Cheers

*edit* - to fix CD-ROM spelling

Maybe 'we' are just behind the times in the Maritimes...or, it might have been authorized by the folks at the army end but not the AF or Navy.
Interesting though.

I know when we went down there to test software a couple years ago, there were problems because the network there was completely different than Baseline - and they hadn't found a way to make anything else work with the ships.
Last I heard there are still problems with it - though it may have changed a bit since I worked with it.
I hear there are/were similar issues in the west as well.
In this case I can see it being difficult to transfer Q drives.

My home computer filters 96% of all the spam that someone tries to send. Every time I open Outlook on the DIN, I have spam about making my dick bigger, prescription drugs, escorts or mail order university options. Real secure INTRANET system :.
My civie work uploads updates in the background so we don't lose quality time. At least once a week, I recieve updates on my DIN PC that tie up my computer for 1 of the three hours I have access to it.
Our system is archaic and not to be trusted.
Ask for a backup set of your C: & Q: before you close your current account.
It's an issue computer. It's not my problem to figure out, pick or filter. If my home PC can filter it, it's mighty sad that the Canadian gov't DND setup can't block these. Our computer system sucks.Eye In The Sky said:Outlook and the IntraNet have nothing to do with each other. Apples and oranges.
