Once the money gets in that I'm expecting (its "in transit"), I'm going to
be ordering both the new server, and the new switch ... if the one quote I
got today from a supplier in the US is any indication of what I can get,
as long as I can co-ordinate shipping from there to the co-lo facility,
the savings from what it would cost me either here, or in Panama, would
allow me to pick up servers a bit more often ...

The one quote I got was ~3/5ths the cost I was quoted in Panama, and about
the same savings over what it would cost me here in Canada ... I always
knew I lived in the wrong country for some things *sigh*
