I've lost count of how many companies i've talked to where the poor fellow
trying to make the inhouse network(s) work had no say whatsoever in what
equiptment was actully purchased , often these decisions are made for the
strangest reasons ;0

Look at apple running ads about macs and emphasizing the fact that they
come in several different colors? Can you think of a stupider reason to
select a computer than the fact you can get a pretty blue one ?
