It's just like one of those things, like eating lunch after finally
having fixed a complex software problem or whatever and ppl come by
and ask computer related questions. To me my lunch hour is holy. I
don't *wanna* speak shop when relaxing a little. I later make a
point of barging in at a meeting or something requesting info from
the "sinner". Not very nice, but that's the environment here. Also
those users that know enough about computers to make a really bad
mess out of things, but not enough to fix it again...
User: "Hey Sorin, why can't I install Kazaa, when I can install
Office?"
Me: Because it's in the domain policy document, which you promised
to read when you applied to get an pc-account. Which you also
signed and said you understood. And because you need Office. Kazaa
is not."
User: "But, hey, I need it when writing my thesis. I can't write it
w/o music."
Me: "Yeah, so...? Did you read the Domain Policy Document?"
User: "Ummm... Ok... Never mind..."
Infusing users with FUD might work for you. >>8->

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know,
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
