A colleague of mine was very eager to own an iPhone 4S. At that time, it was the pinnacle of prestige. After receiving a bonus, she declined taking a vacation and bought it — a white one, pleasantly hefty, the envy of the entire sales department.

NetXMS as a Monitoring System for the Lazy… and a Bit of Comparison with Zabbix
