(Double-conversion models start near $500. Ouch!)

Peace of mind: Priceless.

Unless the OP owns the copmany he is working for or it's a home
computer, it's not his call if "$500", for the sake of discussion, is
too much. As a technician, his job is to work with management people
to calculate the business costs of a failure, calculate the costs of a
couple ways for recover from the failure ithing the timeframes set by
management and them let the Boss make the call to spend the money, or
not.

Yes, but: Too many people have seen the "calcuation of business costs"
double or triple the cost of the simple solution - that works, what?,
over 90% of the time? Over-analyzation or too little use of real
common sense or gut instinct is the counter to your arguement. Your
point is inarguably valid, but not the end-all, be-all either.

Anyway, it was intended as a stupid joke, but thanks for the
opportunity to vent a little.
