It must be nice to be able to use VMWare, but then again, the scale  
here is so small that I couldn't justify the expense.

As an additional note, the load on current servers is not so bad, so  
I think that consolidation won't be a problem. I just worry about  
painting myself into a corner, spending a lot of time investing in a  
solution that will have to be chucked in the end. I really appreciate  
the cautionary note.

Thank you again.
