Yes, that does sound quite reasonable. IMO, though, we should always 
make sure the infrastructure keeps pace with our growth as the first 
priority, but I am sure that that is one of the priorities already 
agreed to by all.

Yes great idea and it will get some of our teams talking together again. 
The list would then be prioritized along the lines of first -- "needs" 
followed by the "wish-list"?

Cheers,

Marc
