Aren't diskless workstations just another word for "single point of
massive failure"?  I've never understood the appeal in this day and age
where you can get old P/P2 (and even P3) hardware complete with disk for
a song and a dance.  What am I missing?

We should sell bloat credits, the way the government sells pollution
credits. Everybody's assigned a certain amount of bloat, and if they go
over, they have to purchase bloat credits from some other group that's
been more careful. (Bent Hagemark)
