No Macs here "on the stagecoach" (you guess who the company is). Like other
big corporations, they'd rather buy $400 machines to save money up front. 
It amuses and frustrates me how quickly they'll approve some enterprise 
software @ $2500/seat. They keep their Wintel admin costs low by locking the
machines down so tight that a typical user can't even change the date/time.

Hmm. I'm just ranting here. I'll shut up now. ;)
