The cost of software in dollar terms often means little to a sysadmin.
My company readily pays out huge sums of money for software it deems
useful.

The thing is, I don't care of how much they spend on iPlanet or IIS,
Apache is always easier to administer (reliability, flexibility, easy to
edit text files, etc). Whether or not we paid for it is meaningless,
it's the cost as far as maintaining it that bothers Marc.

Money isn't everything ;)
