Hello, I know that my boss keeps bragging that I have not physically touched a thin device in months! :) Stephen -----Original Message----- From: Nail, Larry [mailto:lnail@xxxxxx] Sent: July 17, 2002 10:09 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Here's a biggie. Why is thin computing the future. 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. -----Original Message----- From: Angus Macdonald [mailto:angus.Macdonald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 10:39 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Here's a biggie.

Why is thin computing the future. 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. -Paul > ---------- > From: Angus Macdonald[SMTP:angus.Macdonald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Reply To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 9:14 AM > To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [THIN] Here's a biggie.
