Thanks for walking me through this, just ordered an SSD too. The backups aren't
very large, this is a dedicated machine that I use only for managing my storage facility. The actual management software is on the cloud, and I can access it from any PC or my Mac. It has a browser portal if I need it. At least I can take payments and access ledgers.

The most concerning is the gate control interface. The management software talks to the gate and turns people's codes on and off when appropriate. The gate hardware and software is old, but stable and bulletproof. The company that makes it doesn't want to support it anymore, they want me to move to a less reliable but "feature rich" product that comes with a monthly fee. No thanks, I'm good. I've paid for what I have at the front end and it works well. I'd be in a world of hurt if the computer crashed and I had to go back to them hat in hand. They'd know they had me over a barrel, if I were even able to reach them. Their support is extremely poor.

I feel better already, thanks again.
