   I didn't think of that and BIll's right, it is really important.  A
   previous employer was convinced that he could save a ton of money by
   buying his staff off-the-shelf computers from Sam's Club.  I can't
   tell you what a fiasco that turned out to be.  They came pretty close
   to shutting the doors due to time lost and equipment failures.  Make
   sure the system you get is designed for business use.
