I see our Mike still hasn't found his core networks, then? :-)
Maybe he's given up all hope in the face of the competition...

Ah, the joys of my favourite and personal network provider.....
There is one vital fact that has been missed though.... any financial advantage accrued through the economics espoused above, is completely negated by the scale of the PC wreckage around Simon's desk. I've seen it... in fact it run's over two desks....., around the floor past the aerials, over the carpet.... who needs $25 NIC cards when you can sidle up to Si's desk and suggest humbly that "this has been here 6 months.....would you mind if I tested it..."
Ohh puhleese. The wreckage is inconsequential - a few drives, some RAM, some networking hardware - nothing of any great interest, and in any case, most of it's on it's way out to customers, or maybe Dean :-).
OTOH, I wandered around the Logical offices the other day, and saw ten's of thousands of dollars worth of gear lying around.
Or maybe you're suggesting that they in fact do have similar real value?
