also, ive got no problem finishing the car but it still needs another $2k of crap to get it done and id rather spend that money on new servers which i desperately need. have you priced a decent enterprise-level private cloud hardware recently? **** is uber expensive!

I used to do the latter. I'm curious about what you're up to-- PM me?
