Alan,
  Thanks for that. Didn't mean to imply at all Enfold was an "uber
corporation" . ;-)  Quite the opposite. I actually made this comment
just to say that reading the Enfold website in the absence of other
info, such an impression of too pricy could be given, which probably
wasn't intended. And I wouldn't like people to be put off because well
apart from the fact Enfold deserves to thrive, we all need Enfold to
thrive. :-)
   Also its kind of embarrassing when due to the way things are funded,
an organisation can spend loads of money on one thing and be really
stingy in another area, and the people that the organisation is being
stingy to may well feel justifiably hard-done by. Frankly I think it
sucks if Microsoft and SAP can screw big $ out of the same institutions
that Enfold is giving a discount to. But its not a just world........
  Will contact you offline when I get a chance to look at Enfold desktop
again.
All the best,
Nick
