      I would change your final question to "Isn't the goal to get the best solution for the value?" ... to which (like cost), the obvious answer is yes. But as (I think) you have mentioned elsewhere, cost does not necessarily equal value.

      Granted, it's value, not cost. And it is "value to the business", so a given product does not have a value in a vacuum. What is valuable to your business is not necessarily valuable to mine, etc.

        There's a longer story that goes with why we went with a SAN... Maybe I'll make a new topic and copy our last few responses from this thread... 8-)

        Always fun to do a community post mortem.

        Post that it is a finalized project BUT don't post the resulting solution.

          If we don't have the final solution then we can see, without any undue influence, if we come up with the same or even a similar solution to what you resulted in. Then, once we come to some kind of terminal state, you can show us what was decided on.

            Am I the only one how always has bad luck with Shipping services? USPS just leaving package notices in the mail box because they are too lazy to bring the package to the door, UPS came today and didn't leave a package because I was not home, even though I pre-authorized shipment with an online signature release. Fedex often delivers to the wrong address.

              FedEx is horrible here, delivering to the wrong address (good thing everyone knows everyone here or I would never get things). Or not delivering at all. USPS takes weeks to deliver something that should take days.
              UPS is awesome here.

                Here, the USPS will steal anything they can. If they think it might have a check inside, they open it and take the bank numbers off the check. Parcel containing anything of value? Stolen. What happens when they steal something they didn't want? Smash it, tape it back together half-assedly, and deliver. ** F***[moderated]THE USPS!!!!!! Privatize that sh [moderated] so it will work correctly!!!!

                  We have major USPS problems. Had to open an FBI case a few years ago. Now it takes over a week to get a first class letter from one part of the state to another.

                    @RojoLoco USPS used to know how to deal with stuff like that.

                    1792 - Congress imposes the death penalty for stealing mail.

                            @thecreativeone91 I was very close to getting the Asus Zen2 and in my research you really want the 64GB version. It has more RAM and a (much?) faster CPU

                              More money than I wanted to spend. The 16GB doesn't have a prime seller either

                              Picked up the fire phone: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OC0USA6 And it comes with an additional year of prime which is half the price of the phone.

                                      I don't know about cricket, but the Lumia 635 is $50 at walmart and you can put an AT&T sim in it.

                                        Not sure. I just went for an android phone. Sad thing is the lumia 1520 I had broke because of heat, the screen cracked while I was outside today but I did nothing to cause that. Apparently the type of glass used in these phones (instead of the normal) make them prone to breaking in heat. It's been about 100 degrees here.

                                            Yeah these past two weeks have been very hot for us, we never get this hot usually. We've been having bad storms too with hail and very strong winds.
