How can I put this.....

The total package cost us in excess of 60Kusd. Even an extra 10usd over that
will make eyebrows rise.

I am quite aware that there are cheap machines, and I'v actually considered
that option, but I am still left in a situation where I have to explain why
it is that I didn't know about this earlier. I'll live through it, but it
has put a major dent in the relationship that we have with IBM, and we are
IBM customers for nearly 10 years almost exclusivly (servers, support etc).

Such is life.

Now where did I put those old dat tapes and the BE software...
