Let me add something because Sigurd jogged my memory.  On our three-year
lease, we borrowed the money from a bank to pay for the equipment since the
rates were better than going with a straight leasing arrangement. The
depreciation factor was another reason why I am not crazy about leasing
hardware. I still have a problem with spending taxpayer money on an
intangible such as interest.
