Re: Moving forward or backward...

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would be curious to know how many users could be supported on a new 520.
At a previous employer they would have 3000 to 5000 jobs/users active at any
given time and that was 10 years ago on a larger system.  I would imagine an
entry level 520 has similar (or more) CPW of that same 10yr old machine.
