I guess Sharky is branching out into the humor area now, so you might want to venture over and read the article on High End Business PCs. I got a few laughs out of it. Like the following paragraph. [As for AMD, we have spoken with several corporate IT and IT consultants who have all told us essentially the same thing. They have invariably said that, if you recommend an Intel solution and it fails, few will question your recommendation, but if you recommend an AMD solution and it fails, many people would question your recommendation and you could easily lose face or business, and possibly your job. To paraphrase what an IT consultant once said to me, unless you have a compelling reason to recommend something other than Intel, you just cannot take the gamble of recommending something else. It's like the old line, "Nobody ever got fired for recommending IBM."] I guess we IT directors are now out of the business of recommending the most sound IT solutions that will assist in the greatest maximization of profits. We're just there to select the most popular decisions that will allow the greatest amount of CYA. Buck
