An anonymous reader writes "Based on decades of growth in CPU speeds, Santa was supposed to drop off my 10 Ghz PC a few weeks back, but all I got was this lousy 2 Ghz dual processor box -- like it's still 2001...oh please!

But then how are we supposed to leverage our synergies going forward to create a win-win situation? You are generating negative ROI in this incumbent conversation, and have become a cromulent addition to the team. You will be capsized^W rightsized immediately.
I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.
Fine, we'll take this offline. Just make sure to touch base regarding the status of your action items by EOB. We can't afford to lose momentum.
