The savings will come from all parts of the department.

That sounds pretty good, but in 25 years such savings alone would come to less than $400,000.

The Army says the real savings will come from the far fewer hours needed to use the device.

"It's usually more expensive at the beginning, and the savings come on the back end."

But the savings through the networks can come at a price, experts say.

So when they have spent all their budget, guess where the savings will come from.

The $35,000 saving comes about because the gain subject to Federal tax would be reduced to $625,000.

Almost all that saving, the budget office said, would come after the turn of the century.

Still, as always in technology, greater savings will come to those who wait.

The savings would come to $200 billion over five years.
