Funny how we are going in a 180. Thank god the aint-trendy brigard aren't going to stuff things up again.
Things were great 20years ago. Dumb terminals, mainframes, and things "just worked". Then the "ain't trendy brigade" graced the workplace spreading the "good news" of PC's. Talk about the most effective way of increasing the TCO like a rocket. The only reason why Windows has become cheaper is because the number of available MSCE's are so great, and the pay is so low, the MSCE's look at the kid at McDonalds with envy.
I said it once, and I'll say it again, removing Dumb Terminals/Thin Clients was the most stupid thing ever done.
