The Problem:

	Which computer systems do people actually recommend for
	solving OFFICE SYSTEMS applications for the various powers
	of 2? ie: one user, 2 users, 4 users, up to about 128.
	Since these are office systems floating point is not as
	vital as straight I/O throughput and raw processing power.

The Question:

	What do you people in netland recommend for each class of
	system (1, 2, 4, ..., 128)?
	Why?

Why Ask?

	I'm trying to get a clear picture of people's selection criteria
	(ie: why this over that, why choose brand Y over brand X when
	brand X has more going for it.) This is for a long-term project,
	but if anyone is interested, I'll summarize all responses to the
	net.
