And yet on this very list I hear folks complaining about $150 a seat for 
RDi, or that it's too expensive to buy an $800 workstation for 
development.  I find it hard to justify i5/OS software that's not needed 
to assuage an auditor and then not supply developers with the very best 
in hardware and software.

Anyway, just me.
