    Why ? it costs more for the same "power" and is useless as desktop machines unless you have a monitor (and mouse and maybe a real keyboard). I would quit if my company replaced our desktop with laptops. For the work we do it's useless (high level 3d word) and that would mean that they expect us to work at home and that i will never do. @ Home, I have a desktop for games and a laptop for other simple things that stays there for most of the time.

                                    Nope, I learned my lesson on lease-back options when I had the elves back in 97. they were fine on the lease, but the buy-back at the end of the lease period was too high, so I switched to dwarves. Besides, tier-1 support is better on the dwarves.

                                      The biggest problem with polygami is mutiple mother-in-laws. Unless you're clever about it and go for multiple sisters. Or perhaps another option, witch would entail marrying your mother-in-law too. But I foresee no happy ending there, in any sense of it. //L

                                        Nope, I learned my lesson on lease-back options when I had the elves back in 97. they were fine on the lease, but the buy-back at the end of the lease period was too high, so I switched to dwarves. Besides, tier-1 support is better on the dwarves.

                                        I would assume the maintenence gnomes would give you a discount seeing as you didn't make them climb up as much to perform standard diagnostics. I'm wondering, do they work as well as Elves in clearing trash. And can they take care of large elephants? I know Elves can.

                                          Actually, it's a tradeoff. Elves are (much) faster but they lack the upper body strength to clear large trash items away, and it usually takes three or four elves to move the same amount of trash as one dwarf. On the plus side, elves work almost silently, while dwarves insist on singing their stupid little working songs. As long as I keep the window closed while they're working on the lawn, it's not quite as annoying.
