ROFL !.. oh man if you knew the situation .. it just makes it all that 
more funny. Im forwarding that one to my boss.   and Im so temped to go 
into gritty details..  Lets just say that the main IS depts ( the one 
responsible for 90% of the servers ) just bought a few Linux servers at 
about $3K - $5K each.. and the last single solaris box was $55,000 ..   
yes this is your tax money and electric bill at work..
