Thin Gurus, We want to move an application from being installed on all client 
machines to a Citrix server.  This really is not a problem.   Since we were 
looking to invest into Citrix, I decided it would be a good idea to move toward 
using thin clients from Wyse.   Well, it looks like the high initial cost of 
Citrix is keeping us from converting to the Holy Grail of thin computing. Here 
is the question**. Is there a way we can use Citrix to deploy our custom 
application to the entire organization and use Microsoft Terminal services to 
deploy desktops to thin clients at the same time on the same set of servers? We 
know at any given time there are at most 60 users using the app that would be 
on Citrix.  When I was gathering prices, I had my Citrix licenses needed at 250 
to be able to handle not only this app but also MS office and GroupWise.  Any 
thoughts on this hybrid option would be very helpful.  Thank you in 
advance,Keith SirmonsKeith Sirmons
