Trust me, some companies can be an absolute pain in the ass when it comes to getting funding… for even cheap stuff.
Before the software can even be acquired, the legal team has to review contracts. Then, payroll/billing/accounts receivable has to setup their junk. Vendors have to sign invoices.

After nearly 6 years of fussing about my PCs hardware, I DID finally get a massive upgrade… and became the owner of some of the fastest hardware my company had to offer.
Compile times, and everything was BLAZING fast.
Then… cyber rolled out a few new security agents. Nothing is fast anymore. :-(
