It also seems to be the case that lots of people (and companies!) forget
that the difference between a Dell/Compaq/IBM machine and a no-name is
mostly a matter of cashflow (and they each have their ways to deal with
that ;-)). A 1000 euro difference on a server (which will buy you a)
"A" brand quality, b) "A" brand support, c) that SCSI RAID stuff you
should have in ANY production server) works out to 27 euro depreciation
per month. If that's too much for your company phone system...
