Nup, I'm calling your bluff. If you want to argue that ISP costs are really prohibitive, *you* provide some numbers. Equipment costs are divided amongst users and spread across years (capacity for concurrent users, data transfer, etc., are all a shared load). You sound like one of those who expect their clients to pay for all their equipment costs within two months, and have a 1000% profit margin. Yes, I've seen those in computer industries who cry poor, but have a Porche in the car park, and have essentially a lazy work life with hours and working locations of their own choosing. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
