There are a lot of changes that are going to be taking place across the
board as far as the servers & personal computers go. The goal is to remove
all laptop computers by November 2003 and all desktops computers by
December 2003. Instead everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch.
There are many sound reasons for doing this:
1. No boot-up problems
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.
4. No more worries about power cuts.
5. Budget savings on Upgrades unparalleled
