Chas: On the support question

The G4s have substantially dropped in price. A few days ago, I saw the 1.42 duals going on eBay for less than 2K, some new, some with lots of enhancements. Okay, your company isn't going to buy from single individuals on eBay, but the dealer pricing is also dropping damatically. Why not consider upgrading everyone to G4 1.42 duals? If that's too much money, the dual 1 gigs like my desktop machine, Donna, are going very much cheaper than the 1.42s.

I don't know how many you're ordering, but if you were to upgrade a dozen or more people to dual 1 gHz machines, I wouldn't be surprised if you could negotiate a deal to do it for $1200 each, or less.
