Lukas,

Unsupported software? That's my responsibility. In the last 5 years I
have had to make a total of 3 changes to support his business. If he
doesn't want to upgrade that's his call. You can get replacement parts,
he just didn't have them on-hand. Now he keeps drives on site instead
of waiting.

I disagree with the idea that you have to be on the latest and greatest
to be competitive. Power5 systems are fine if you need that, for his
needs the 150 is perfect. Not running on a power5 is not WRONG.

. . .

Don't inflict your bias on others.

Damn straight. F-----' A. Or as Gaby Johnson put it, "Rarebitz!"

When our D02 quit, there wasn't much I could do about it. But our 200, 40S, 170s (both slim and fat), and 510 have never once failed in a way I couldn't fix. MYSELF. (It's been a decade since we had a technician out to work on anything.) The damn things are easier to fix than our WinDoze boxes are. And we keep spare drives to fit everything that actually gets used on site.
