Plus John outlined the age old problem, shelling out money for something
that doesnt directly add to the profit of the business. The other one
is, little Greggy hasn't been seen in a week, he must not be doing
anything. No one thinks it was working until it breaks!!
P.s I was probably playing doom or something

Hi John,
Good points. Its sort of like health insurance. A lot of small biz
owners don't have it. They feel OK today. Its only after the 6 months of
chemo and doing the rounds in District Court for the chapter 7 do they
realize maybe the results would have been different had they spent their
money differently.

No, not really. This particular client has been in business for 20
years.
That is part of the problem. He is always saying well it use to work
fine
all those years. I have a tendency to attribute small business failures
to
the owners overall attitude, work ethics and dedication to the business.
To
justify spending money on IT when IT does not directly add to the bottom
line is where most small businesses are. Unless and until an incident
happens to clearly show that IT could have prevented that, they do not
completely understand the concept.
