Guess what happens when you run Oracle, SQL Server, Interbase & Blackfish on your laptop ...

Interesting... I don't know what is you requirement regarding mobility, but I would let everything installed on the older/existing laptop and install the client software on the new shiny HP 8570w and then connect to the older laptop The Database Server (which I would never turn off). :)

I tend to do a wee bit of work outside regular hours - so I bring the development box with me when I leave the office. Work supplies me with the laptop, at home I'm somewhat better equipped ...

The caffeine also helps to boot up 'Ze Little Grey Cells' for the day ... I've never been a great fan of mornings ...

Do you need all those engines at startup or only on demand? Maybe just disabling the automatic start of all those greedy databases might improve your boot time? :)

Did that for a while, but lately I need both when I start working - disabling Oracle helped a bit, cutting about 5 minutes of the time required to boot, disabling MS SQL Server didn't make much of a difference. Disabling FSecure made a lot of difference ... but then we're not supposed to do that, so I turned it back on. So FSecure is probably the real culprit, but it behaved well enough before I installed the servers.

Or then just delay the automatic start of the services until you're logged in (e.g. write a short batch script and move it in the autorun folder ;P) so you can in the meantime start more (or less) important things like codeproject (most important ;)) or checking the mailbox Otherwise: Set up WOL an boot the computer from your mobile phone :laugh: (tried this with my pc at home ;))

Haha, I don't need 20 minutes boottime to do that :laugh:

it's a pleasant way to start the day, and the chatter isn't really inane - once I start working, getting disturbed is sometimes more than a bit annoying.

On my work computer I can disable FSecure, but due to policy settings I can't change what gets checked or not - the logic of it kind of escapes me ...
