Having Just Enough for Contingencies
Computers and Hardware June 9th, 2010I don’t usually have enough money for contingencies. That is why I tend to be really careful in using my things because I know that I won’t have enough money to pay for any repairs, more so to buy something new. Though I am planning to change my career path any time soon, I still have to be contented of what I only have for now.
That is why when my little brother’s IBM xSeries Servers had some problems and he asked me for help, I really wasn’t able to sleep overnight. Even if I still have enough money for it, I never want to spend any amount that I haven’t thought of for a long time. However, I also know how much my little brother needs his unit for his studies so I know that I need to decide as fast as I can.
The next day, I searched online if there are Used xSeries components available as I am sure that it will be much cheaper. Luckily, there is. I had my brother’s server fixed in that shop. When they sent it back, my brother was really happy. Also, he was satisfied with how his server is working. I am also happy that I did not spend too much.
