Lightyears Ago
I don't know why, but I get a kick out of this quotation from a WSJ article on virtualization and the server market:
"We hardly ever buy a new server," Mr. Siles says. "The last server I bought was almost a fiscal year ago."
I love the concept of a fiscal year as a measurement of time. It turns out that a fiscal year isn't always 365 days for various reasons, but it's never very far off. Except in a few very specific contexts, I don't see what you get by adding the word "fiscal."
