Yea no Sh*t! I am beginning to miss the E10K I used to work on... now I have to talk fast and push buttons to even get a little 1-cpu dec as1000 box outfitted with hardware and software. Boy have times changed <sigh>
No, I'm almost going to suggest I go to this meeting with management on this one. I'll go to bat for a budget with hard numbers I believe in. Gosh, I may have to brush up on my political skills :P
HA. I'm beginning to sound like a director. OH GAWD, NOoooOOOOOOOoooooo!

Lisa ,
If you ever find a damagement which gives you what you
want just because "thats what you wanted"...let me
know . I would sell my soul to get in there ;) .
You have to manipulate the figures to show that you
want a particulat kinda machine . It is sorta like
reverse engineering ! You decide the machine you want
and work out the result figures accordingly . Of
course they have to be atleast slightly true ....you
don't want them to go and do a simple search and find
out the facts ...do you..??!! ;)
Cheers ,
RS
