Then there are many different situations. I have been in businesses where the cent is not trivial. Sometimes I have had to choose between getting my salary or getting some hardware instead So, what hardware did you get? ;-)
We opted for cheaper hardware, and we postponed our salaries for months in order to survive.
Instead of buying nice 19" rack industrial rated PCs, we used a 19" tray with an office computer on it instead. Instead of using 19" rack monitors, we used 14" office monitor screwed somehow into an aluminum sheet, which we then screwed into the 19" rack. And so on.
That is what you do when you must have something and can't afford it. A miserable situation that I encountered as well. :-/
At the end I found another job and jumped boat. Finding jobs is not always easy or even possible. If you have a job that pays your needs, count your blessings.
If you find yourself in such a situation it is the most important conclusion you have to face, that you must find another job as the first priority and anything else next. After having gone through it once I learned this thoroughly and took it to heart. Congrats for finding another job. (^-^) -- Sandy List replies only please!
