I know someone can help me out there :)

Upper management needs convincing that software engineers (sic) are
more productive using a multiple window windowing system over a vt100 type 
(cheap) system.  We all know the truth, but vt100 clones are cheaper that even 
the cheapest (uh, sorry - least expensive) multi window system - such as X, and
so therefore, those that control the money think that cheap is better. If I had
some hard proof of how much more productive we could all be, each with our own
X system (diskless is fine), we might even stand a chance of getting a few in 
house for development work - yippie!


Thanks forever
