    ...getting new hardware set up quickly. By past history, setting up new machines or changing hardware is an activity that takes several months. It requires continuous reminders, and if nobody keeps track, it easily gets delayed by weeks with no action. T. Peters noted that he'd vote to pay XS4ALL if it results in better hardware turnaround.

    ...getting management approval of the case studies/success stories can be difficult. We're still waiting for feedback from them.
