Our userbase license cost us like $500.00 and some piddly amount for the support renewal
And hey look, they have an Education Edition too. http://www.ilient.com/education-edition.htm
And the best part? You don't have to do the bugfixes. Why you wanted to reinvent the wheel.....
I did the homework for you....
A Spitfire Mk1 cost £12604 in 1939 according to Wikipedia. To translate that to dollars, the GBP bought 3.99 USD back in 1939 so it would have cost $50,289.96 in 1939 USDs
Doing a quick Google Search, a Spitfire Squadron around Battle Of Britian consisted of 20 aircraft and 2 reserves so you could effectively get just over 8.25 squadrons of Spitfire Mk1's using adjusting for inflation for the cost of one single F22.
(Dammit, an AC also did the homework too

Glad they do such great QA work, since like nobody uses FireFox.....
Sprint's is supposedly replacing their tower side gear to run EVERYTHING
As a medium sized customer with ~100 Sprint/Nextel lines, I am NOT happy with this idea at all. I'd rather they keep that shit fruit phone OFF the Sprint network - Sprint isn't exactly rolling in dough, but the 3G speeds and 4G speeds are pretty impressive, for what you're paying for. We have a handful of more expensive with less contractual value from AT&T (because the CxO's who travel needed true International usage, which Sprint doesn't do very well
Stay over there Apple...
That means when you carry it around every day, it won't fall apart as fast. It WILL fall apart eventually - that's always been my experience with laptops in general - but the Latitude will reliably outlast the consumer class Vostro by a great amount.
Yes, but with the savings from the Vostro you can buy a new mid-range laptop when the current one breaks for the same per-time costs rather than being stuck with a well-built but dated machine for long enough to justify it's increased purchase price. Given how fast computer hardware accelerates, it makes more sense to replace often rather than sinking lots of money into a fast-depreciating asset. In 2 years, a $1000 laptop will be outspecced by entry level models at $500, so buying one of those twice as often (actually the current-dollars cost of a $500 laptop in 2 years is $470) makes tons more sense in a dollar/performance sense than buying the $1k model and holding on to it for 4 years.
Of course, for the average consumer breakage means a trip to newegg or amazon and a few days waiting for a new device while a suit on a business trip to kerbleckistan has different needs.
You failed business economics.
When you're on a 36-48 month depreciation schedule, the idea is they last that long. When you're a 15 year old kid, you need the $499.00 BoxPusher 100 - that you will replace in 18-24 months with another throwaway piece of shit.
What you failed to mention is this:
Dell's Consumer brand line - including the Vostro - has all their support outsourced. The Lattitude, Optiplex, Precision, and PowerEdge support queues are based in Tampa, FL (if I recall)
Call me shallow, but I get really tired of trying to listen to what you and I know isn't your first language trying to walk through a problem that I already know is well over your head but I need to placate you for 20 minutes before you will transfer me to someone who may or may not know a little (or lot) more then you do.... and maybe might be in my lingustic zip code as an added bonus.
We looked at switching to HP business class hardware (so glad that didn't happen) but I was incensed to find out that their CAD/BIM class machines had outsourced support, and their business class laptops were 'currently' sourced in India however HP was setting up a US based call center. For a 5K workstation - good riddance HP.

If I were one of Jobsie's little crack-whores, why on Earth would last year's phone if Apple's set to release the iPhone 5 in 5-7 months? Just because they now finally figured out how to make a white shell....might as well save that for the next one Stevie, you missed it with this generation of phones....or maybe the white one doesn't need to be held this way.....or maybe it comes with a HumanCentiPad2....

The best scene was where Cleary (Lowe's character) holes up in a companion's cave in the middle of nowhere and this guy spouts off he has BONDED ISDN to his cave...which is in the middle of nowhere.
13 years later we still can't get broadband to rural nowhere, but the phone company really pulled copper to your cave?
