    .   How many of us, the folks you're trying to convince, are
        Fortune 500 types?

    .   Fortune 500 types hire people to set up their systems, and
        _those_ people will know what they are doing.

    .   On the Ami, fiddling with task priorities isn't a "pain" at all.
        A number of programs provide point and click interfaces to do the
        job, while others allow script automation of the whole thing.
