> what's the other 21%?

"Deployment" of the hardware and software. As for someone else's comment about statistics, although these fit fairly well with my experience of ca. 500 PCs and servers, the numbers are from the May BYTE. So, about we say 1/5 for deployment and about 2/5 for each of acquisition and administration with administration being slightly higher?

Regards,

jimmo
