Ever thought of "I use what they tell me to use, and it works, so I dont
necessarily need to *change*".  I do a perfectly good job administrating
over 70 UNIX boxes (Sun, SGI, HP-UX, DEC/Compaq) by using a Windows machine
running eXceed and a SSH client.  This also lets me run Outlook, Word, Excel,
and Visio, all of which are required (at least for interoperability with my
coworkers).  It also lets me watch the occasional Quicktime or Windows-Media
format video/movie, etc.  Just because I *could* have a UNIX box on my desk
as my main machine doesent mean its the best thing for the job *in this 
particular situation*.

I also have a HP C110, a SGI Indigo2, and a DEC Alpha box in my cube, if
that makes you feel better.  I just happen to use the Windows box to
access all of them.
