Sounds like Homer simpson is working at the NAU
"Hey guys if we BUY MORE we can SELL more and make more money!!! "
To the homer simpson working in the NAU:
Forgetting the depreciation/ installation costs...plus aquistion cost would barely be offset by the 70 mil....
On top of that Windows vista has a much higher hardware requirement, is buggy and slow.
as for being more productive... thats assuming these guys are using their computers 24x7 and are always working....
Why doesn't the NAU investigate putting linux onto the old boxes and turning them into servers...
Now that would save money....
