Hello,

I know that my boss keeps bragging that I have not physically touched a thin
device in months! :)

Does your finance department say ROI doesn't matter?  How about TCO?  If we
try to bring those numbers into a finance meeting, the $$$ grubber's eyes
just glaze over and the IGNORE sign lights up on their foreheads.

Good luck Angus.  I get a lot of grief from the desktop side of the house.
Their company line is "We moved off mainframes to get away from that, and
now you want to force us back."  What they are really saying is that they
like their job security :).  It really is all in how you run the numbers.
