Re: Cost of RDP

Let's say just for a giggle that RDP saves you an hour a week (and I
guarantee it saves me a lot more than that) over WDSC. That's 50 hours
a year, give or take. So a quick divide tells me you consider your time
to be worth about four bucks an hour. Yeah, I know that might be a bit
over-simplified, but hopefully you get my drift. $800 just ain't that
much as a one-time cost. It's the same reason carpenters and mechanics
spend way more for their tools than weekend do-it-yourselfers.

A good case for the employee to use, to get his/her employer to purchase tools. But what would you, the employee be prepared to spend out of your own pocket?

Might I suggest the employee is less concerned about cost savings and more interested in things like: making life easier, developing additional skills and generally adding a little more fun into work. So, what price would you, the employee be prepared to pay for the latter?
