As a computer center manager I find this number hard to believe. In
terms of operating budget, I think one to two million dollars/year is
more than adequate for 2000 users -- about 50% of that goes for wages
and salaries of support staff.
Maybe in the industrial-military complex $30 mil is budgeted :-).
