Yeah, Ghost's license was always a little ridiculous.  Especially when
DriveImage is on a per technician basis, rather than per machine.

But Ghost was /fast/.  Really fast.  I used to support 400 PCs for a bank
in Ohio.  I can't imagine doing user-support without a ghost-like tool.
The multicast option would be wicked nice for setting up a cluster all at
once.  But since it is only a one-time thing, you may not want to bother.
