[gis_info] Lane CC GIS Lab - seeking advice

[Darrell Fuhriman]

*smacks forehead*

Aren't we all glad we pay all that money for this high quality, thoroughly tested software? If I were pointing fingers, Dell would *not* be the first place I'd start.

To quote a friend (not about ESRI), "If I had a million dollars, I'd start a company, then I'd hire away all their developers just so I could have the privilege of firing them."

> I am seeking information that can help debug a major issue in the Lane CC GIS Lab. We are having serious difficulty running ArcMap (Info). The program take about 8 to 10 minutes to load and often freezes when it loads. Sometime it take 2 to 3 minutes to move a text box in layout view, and it will often spontaneously close. These are just a few of the problems we are having.
