[Michael Belanger] "think these are really two year solutions..."
Almost on topic: I remember my accountant telling me to amortize office gear over 5 years -- the desks, chairs, etc.
He told me that computer gear should be amortized over 3 years
at most. His reasoning -- I couldn't sell 3 yr. old used computer gear for much of anything. (He's right. Try it.) He said this in the context of saying that I should budget for completely refitting the computer gear every 18 months.
He said that in 1992, when the world was moving much more slowly. At least it feels that way looking back. What do I know?
As for when to jump in, Dave Barry said they should have big trash bins just past the cash register, so you could dump your now obsolete computer into it on the way to the car. Much more efficient than waiting until you get home to throw it away.
