Ah, I had not considered this, and it makes excellent sense. I can
see why having to manage more than three machines would be a hassle,
and I agree completely with the interest in keeping them more under
control.
I hope this would be coupled with a willingness to spend cash on
hardware. :) We have the cash and computers are cheap these days.
