I just got this phone yesterday it is awesome. With having a Voip system it is easier to have 1 phone base and multipule handsets and i have had several but this one beats them all hands down.

 

Panasonic KX-TG1033S Dect 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Phone System with 3 Handsets
 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LYAX1G/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=  
  • it takes 2 AAA Nimh ( so if the batteries go bad I can just replace them with any AAA Nimh rechargeables no special battery pack needed)
  • It has a feature that allows you to enter all of your speed dial numbers into 1 phone (can hold 50) then transfer it to the other phones
  • It has a partly line feature so that you can have 3 people on the phone at the same time (2 on the system and one outside line)
  • It has an intercom feature
  • It is expandable to 6 phones on one base.
  • Speaker phone (i hate speaker phones but they come in handy when on hold only)
It comes in a 2,3,4,5 phone set. so get what you need then you can by a single unit if you need more. Base Units 
  • KX-TG1032S- 2 phone
  • KX-TG1033S- 3 phone
  • KX-TG1034S - 4 phone
  • KX-TG1035S- 5 phone 
  • addonKX-TGA101S - 1 phone expansion must have a base unit. 
 It comes in black or silver. I got the silver one because it was on sale. There are a lot of additional features but you can read about them if you deside to buy it. Chris Stauffer <><

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.

I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.

I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.

NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.

WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.

FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.

THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.

THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.

WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUS T READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?

I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.

SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.

THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.

I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.

THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.

THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
'SA NTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;

I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY! COUNTRY, MY CORPS.'

THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.

I KEPT WATCH FO R HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.

THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, 'CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.'

ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
'MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,!
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.'

This poem was written by a Marine.
The following is his request. I think it is
reasonable..... 

Christmas will be coming
soon and some credit is due to our
U.S. service men and women for our being able to
celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small
way to pay a tiny bit of what we
owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living
and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

 

I dont make a habit of passing along chain mail but i felt this one was deserving since i've been there, done that, got the tshirt, and ribbons.

*************************************** 

Microsoft is aware of the offer status issue affecting System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) customers.  The typical symptom is that offer status is no longer processed and .SVF files begin to backlog in the \inboxes\offersum.box folder on a site server.Offersum.log shows entries similar to the following are noted:------->: Tally 00011280001F2000. New Start Time: 12/01/2007 00:00:00, New Expire Time: 12/08/2007 00:00:00 ---->: An exception was raised: Unspecified error Warn>: Could not initialize the summarizers properties.---This issue came about starting December 1, 2007 due to an incorrect date calculation in the Offer Status Summarizer component and will affect all SCCM sites (both evaluation and licensed RTM version).There are currently no supported workarounds to this issue.  Some customers have reported modification of the Site Control file have made the issue appear to go away, but this is not supported and the long term ramifications currently unknown. A hotfix for this issue is under development at the highest priority.  The current plan of record is that once built and tested, the fix will be made available via the hotfix self-service portal so that a call to CSS will not be required to obtain it.  Further information, including the KB article number, how to obtain the fix, and all relevant detail, will be sent back out to the community when ready.  Any changes to the release plan and any schedule updates will be communicated as well.Thanks again,

Brian Huneycutt
