tim, delta airlines is better served by thin client... didn't you know this??????? but, I get your point. if you are buying 300 million worth....cpq or hp will match the price...... did i tell you how on low volume a month I get 6 cents a minute on long distance...... there are huge corps that pay more than that. when I started working at this corp,,,they had 14 cents a minute and they thought they we doing good, Long distance bill was $10,000 a month and now it's $4000. i didn't change compnaies either..I just kept bidding and working on it til they lowered their price. That's 6000 a month differnce. Then I got sbc to lower the local phone by $2000. So, with the 8000 a month lower in telecom expenses I was about to spend almost 300k in capital on servers, software, and pcs w/o raising my MIS budget.
