OK...given this I have 28 MS servers and 12 Linux servers (and 350 
desktops)....so using this I should be making $211,273!

I want to know where my EXTRA MONEY IS!!!!!!!

Richard-

 PS: I do spend an average of 3 hours a week on my Linux systems (total) 
and the rest on the MS systems...MS and time management DO NOT go together!
