Although I'm not Terry, I have to speak up.  Remember the Dilbert comic
where Wally complains to the boss that he's got an old 286 but the boss
has a Sparcstation yet only know how to look at the screensaver?

Well, that situation's very true ... my bosses here have HP J and K
series workstations yet on my desk all I have is an HP 715.  Guess
where I'm going to rlogin to do my number crunching.  :-)

So, no, not everyone has a single user box in the office these days.
