Tim, re: Does anybody really buy this "depreciation cycle" nonsense... Budgets are budgets. And budgets get approved or disapproved depending on the financial implications. A two year old PC has a barrier to replacement, it's probably got over $300 worth of depreciation left in it. Money that was spent, and can still be taken off taxes. I don't think anyone ever called it a "depreciation cycle", until you did. The useful life of a PC used to be about three years, what was called the upgrade cycle, what the upgrade cycle is now is open to debate. It's a lot easier for accounting to approve the replacement of a fully depreciated product. It doesn't mean it will be replaced, it means it can be replaced. Does anyone really buy your "depreciation cycle" nonsense? John
