[Sussex] Much hilarity involved

[Nicholas Butler]

According to Dell, the price they quoted me is the price they get it 
from Microsoft. Which when you consider it, is actually very cheap for a 
<heavy sarcastic quotes>Complete win2k </heavy sarcastic  quotes> 
environment for a user to play with. Since I dont have to upgrade the 
whole site and can "transition" the client from old desktops to new 
through a server I can still save the client a lot of money on a desktop 
upgrade without replacing a single desktop. Overall the Client spends a 
little under 2k for a 10 desktop upgrade. It was actually cheaper than 
crossover to deliver. sigh. Off Course it helps that they like 
OpenOffice, Thunderbird and Firefox and that the remaining applications 
are browser based.
