In all of this cost analysis, don't forget that hdw maint
is free only for 1st year, and over a $1k per year after that,
and at least for me required an annual pay, not monthly.
Software Support is another annual cost.

True, but you weigh that against the cost of upgrading to a new machine,
Jim. Basically it's just shipping and then the pain of reconfiguring the
new machine, but for a development machine, you kind of want the latest and
greatest. Which is why I'm keeping the model 270 (for back release support)
and then moving the primary development to a 515.
