[Sorry for the previous ambiguous email....]
What I should have said was....
Is everyone in concurrence with what what has been proposed to date?
o we should order the upper end capacity equipment now
o 18 GB of application/storage area is enough
o order 2 machines - 1 production, 1 test - identical configurations
o we do not need the super 21" monitor
thanks, Pete
