There is an important omission in this statement. The sentence should
begin "In the USA.....", as should any discussions by USA residents of the
cost of hardware.
The omission is yours Lisi. You cut the immediately preceding paragraph
which set the context for the remainder of that post:
"This typically holds true in the US where the total cost of labor is
far greater than hardware. This is definitely not the case in
'developing' countries, where the acquisition cost of a single tier 1
server may very well be greater than an SA's yearly salary. "
Not all of us can buy our hardware in the USA, even if we can afford the
hardware, and prices outside the USA can be (in my experience usually are)
significantly higher.
You've just repeated the exact point I made in the email which you
(wrongly) attempted to critique...
