Great site!!!

I'm curious about a few things, though:


  * "The cost for the Microsoft server software with client access licenses
    (CALs) for 25 clients would run about $4,000. However, we would also
    need 300 more CALs! "

    Why 300 more licenses?  For more labs, or...?


  * How much would it have cost to create a lab full of non-thin-client
    systems running Linux or Windows?  (e.g., what savings is there in
    getting a beefy server and lots of thin clients?  I'm not saying there
    _isn't_ of course -- and a lot of the savings aren't immediate -- I'm
    just curious how much $$$, exactly. ;^) )


Thanks!
