NMC is far more useful to me than the old motif gui (or Paris for that
matter). I have not had to use the old purple and green monster for
several months now, and while I was the first one to wail over it's
demise, I've grown to love the pretty java memory hog for simple things
like resizable text windows for entering directives and seeing client
configs in tables...  The reporting is still close to useless for day to
day operations, but wonderful for creating random piecharts with what
management want to see...

All of my servers are 7.2.1 or 7.2.2 still...   I just put the nmc and
the 7.3.2 client package on my workstation...

:-) I agree.  I'm trying not to be biased just because it's new and
pretty, and I'm desperately hoping that it really is an upgrade and that
it's not all looks without any redeeming qualities.  I don't want to
have to nickname the new gui "Paris".

Depends on where you are in the state, but if you've seen the movie
"Fargo" (which takes place primarily in Brainerd, MN and Minneapolis/St.
Paul), there are certainly scenes from that movie that capture the upper
Great Plains perfectly.

Winter in this part of the world has some similarities to summer in the
desert southwest.  During the worst of the cold, we hurry from cars to
buildings to get out of the cold.  That's somewhat similar to hurrying
from the airconditioned car to the airconditioned building in the
southwest because it's so hot outside.
