Not sure what this has to do with Open I/O but you can't compare leasing a
car to leasing an AS/400. At the end of the lease type your car has value.

An AS/400 is basically worthless. It is hard to give them away. The
technology changes too fast. If a new car could go a 1000 times faster than
the model you want to buy you wouldn't to buy it either.

Honestly I'm not much on the finance end, but how hard is it to encourage
leasing instead of buying?

Large companies may lease, but none of our customers do. They may
finance a large project, but they won't use leasing.

From my own perspective, leasing a car is a very dumb idea - if you
buy it in cash you'll get a much better deal and own the car - while
paying less than it would've cost you to lease it for four years.
