Ha! On a more serious note, as if that were not serious enough, I think you have hit it right on the head. as an IT Director I used to sit in all of these meetings and vendor presentations wondering how much money these people thought I must have. In fact, we had very little at the university and budget cuts reduced that little amount even further. They always made it seem like I should make sacrifices because of the tremendous advantages their software afforded me. None of them ever approached me with the type of win-win situation you describe.
