Wait'll they see what it REALLY costs!!! HAR DE HAR HAR!!!
1) They'll deny it by creative accounting.
This happened at one place that I worked when the PC revolution
was "new". The individual departments were responsible for their own PC
workstations and software. Therefore the "saving" for the old 3270
devices were accrued to the IT department, showing that using PCs was
more cost effective than 3270s.
2) They won't say anything for fear of a lawsuit.
