[BC] Automation and AoIP

[Alex Hartman]

I think you're missing the point here. Doing a digital studio rollout,
why would you spend the money twice in the first place? If you're
going AoIP, why do you need the ASI 5xxx or 6xxx cards? I'd rather
spend the money on a much nicer PC that's going to last a while.

And while yes you keep the money on the front end, but doing it right
the first time will get more business, and not cursing your name in
vein when the $800 PC breaks in a few years, then telling them that
they need yet another one? (because you know they will, your fault or
not)

You're going to spend the money, just a matter of when and where.

Just sounds like you're out to gouge your customers to me...
