Don't forget that in the geocentric world of 'trade journal' publications there
is always an implicit 'NOVELL PC' in front of the word LAN. I think what you
have here is a case of 'escape from MIS' eventually turning into 'running back
to MIS screaming HELLLLLLP!', in other words: 'we got PCs on our desk so we
wouldn't have to pay MIS for services and to feel we were managing our own
systems but we didn't plan it properly and don't know how to run our systems
and a salesperson told us this would solve all our problems and we listened to
the salesperson instead of our own people so HEEELLLLLLLLPPP! (for free, of
course). 
hahahahahahahaha
