"The argument about lower administration costs is also not supported by years of field data which shows that the administration cost is just transferred to the server." I think that misses the point. Which is cheaper to maintain: a bus or 50 cars (assuming both could satisfy the same need equally well)? There are economies of scale.

Your 'years of field data' don't seem to be a good news effectively brought to the enterprise by your Compaq salesmen, rudedog. The 'terminal replacement market' is WAY bigger than the 'terminal replacement market'. --- I'm sorry you feel that I'm here to harass. My point last night about your MS LEAPS was that perhaps your 'investment' decision was clouding your better judgement with regard to what MS is all about. I don't think I'm avoidant of rational discussion. Respectfully, -JCJ
