  No the $1.2B is in good hard greenbacks, thank you very much.  And yes
$20k is manageable, but excessive.  Is that a better term for ya Joe?  
No it is not me or my company I am thinking of in my response, but some
other smaller companies or companies with small margins.  I can't help
that you have spent so much of your personal money on hardware, that is
your
decision.  But you should not assume that others should spend their
money
in the same manner as you.  After all they earned it!

  This ia not areasonable statment and, quite frankly I find it
insulting
