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..."
Dean can vouch for me, so this email can be seen to vendor independenet........
Alas it's all true. Flash's desk is starting to look just as bad though - and then there's the store room =) Not many people I know have the sort of job that Si does. Imagine if we all had this ammount of stuff lying around work that was availible for "offsite testing" Roger would have a 12416 running his network and I'd have an M160 full of GigE for mine (that would be until I could find some oc-192 pci cards =) ) *sigh* such is life.
