I have been asked numerious times why someone should purchase
and X term when some workstations (especially diskless) are 
just as cheap). I always give the standard

"A workstation requires a sys admin, but an X term does not"

I would be interested in hearing from other people as to their
thoughts on this issue. Quantitative information would be also
appreciated (cost of workstation vs x term)
