I started out with <strong>Citrix MetaFrame 1.1 on Windows Server NT 4.0,<\/strong> And back then, keeping the systems up and running was anything but easy. Every day I had several BSODs (Blue Screen of Death)\u2014system crashes\u2014which was to be expected. The only way I could stabilize the environment was by removing all third-party printer drivers.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Back then, printer drivers were still loaded into the kernel\u2019s memory space and would quickly cause the system to crash. My next battle was with the Token Ring thin clients running a Citrix client based on <strong>Microsoft MS-DOS<\/strong>! Whatever the issue was, it always came down to the hardware\u2014never enough RAM and, on top of that, expensive. That was a long time ago, and a lot has changed in technology, just as it has in my life, but there were things back then that are still an issue today! We now have the <strong>paperless office<\/strong>\u2026 No, of course I\u2019m just kidding, and printing is still a problem even today. What about the expensive RAM? Memory is cheap, but not in the cloud! Okay, but at least the clunky, DOS-based Citrix client\u2026 Hmm, now that I think about it, the DOS client worked, but I\u2019m not so sure about the Citrix Workspace app!?<\/p>\n<p>For more than 20 years, I have successfully helped Citrix customers and their administrators resolve their issues, and for many years Citrix has recognized my work with the CTP Award. When customers hire me, other consultants have often already looked into the problem\u2014sometimes even Microsoft and Citrix themselves. I really enjoy my work, and I\u2019m sure that will continue to be the case. I\u2019ve made many friends along the way, but contact has rarely been maintained.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, a \u201e<strong>Hello<\/strong>\u201cTo Shawn, Jay, Garry, Jeff, Thomas, Benny, Thorsten, Nico, Brian, Ron, Brad, and many more!
