They don't have good systems, no.  But they do have good people.  After
searching through a BUNCH of things, a couple of folks over there
finally found all the information.  As it turns out, I've been paying
$2000 a year for HARDWARE maintenance, not software maintenance, so I
was indeed without an SWMA.  I think $2000/year on a $24,000 machine is
reasonable, but considering it's almost as much as the lease really
makes it painful.

But I digress.  Now I just have to decide which machine I want.  I'll
throw this out to the audience: do you think RAID on a 35GB machine is
worth $5700?  If so, why?  I'm having a hard time justifying it in my
mind.

The other question is whether I want to essentially double my cost from
an $11,000 machine to a $22,000 machine (which means going from $200/mo
to $400/mo) to get the extra 500CPW and 1GB of RAM necessary for Portal.
