Is that a managed, or unmanaged cost?  How do you do backup and
disaster recovery on desktop storage?

Admittedly, a good compression algorithm could reduce most of what's on
your desktop to a few napster:// urls and the content of your
powerpoint, reducing the backup work to a few dozens of megs, but I've
yet to see that productized.
