Re: Any ideas on a new computer for our driver station?

To elaborate on this a bit.

The DS has many parallel loops running communicating to different field, robot, and PC elements. When mDNS was added, it was put into the timeout case of the primary UI loop. If it doesn't return for many seconds, the UI processing of clicks and such will be delayed. The other loops that communicate to the robot are still running on schedule. Soon the mDNS will also be in its own little cage, I mean loop, and if it misbehaves it will be reported on and will not interfere with the other stuff that needs to be done.

I don't personally own McAfee, but wonder if there is a newer version that doesn't freak out when we ask robots to identify themselves via mDNS.
