[THIN] Re: New Citrix install

We are making an assumption that they are a small shop, though, aren't
we.  Most small shops would balk at buying 3 servers especially if one
is dedicated to doing almost nothing.  The specs are pretty big for a
small shop as well.  Plus we are missing one key component to this
whole thing which is how many users are actually going to be accessing
the system.

Heh, how much free consulting have we just thrown around?   :)
