And how do you figure making a reasonable living translates into
the ability to spend capriciously?
You are somehow translating my notion of buying what is functionally
needed to do a job to the quality level required into a capricious
spending spree. This is a misinterpretation.
So lets say next week you figure a Canon 5D system is what will now
do the job right now?
I presume you would just go out and buy one?
If it were to happen that I determined a Canon 5D system would do the
job better and return more profit than what I was using presently, I
would plan out how to convert currently available assets into a Canon
5D system with minimum loss. I would have plotted, in that process,
how long it would take to recover any losses and go back into
profitable operation. Then I'd execute that plan.
This is, essentially, how I bought my Pentax gear. I converted other
assets that I had which were not making any ROI into the Pentax DS
and lens kit, which first paid for any losses incurred from that
conversion and then began producing profit over the course of the
past year.
