You are 75 years old.Cost of doing business? I mean, sure, you're solving their problem temporarily, but eventually that's not gonna work and then it's time to spend money.
You have a few more years in your business before you retire.
Dropping $30k for a few more years is a fool's errand.
All they really need is stable hardware to last the few more years they require.
Not everybody is a young person, nor can everybody pop $30k for a mom 'n pop business.
This is NOT a one-size-fits-all world.
