I had FOUR computers installed with some other stuff I needed.

Sorry the last guy got all my money. Actually the first system he had was way to much for my office so he worked me up another deal. I had to purchase 4 new PC's a net work so they could work somewhat together and I purchased a new multi function printer, copier, and scanner. I'm sure I could have found a better price but I have his business and he spends over 10 grand a year with me so it was not that big of a deal.

Did it include the appropriate software licenses for what you need?

Like you said, you and he have a business relationship. Sounds like he got you squared away, and when done right, that's worth a lot.

He is in the business of installing business systems and has installers, a service center, etc... I know some agents who just went out and purchased computers but they have all had issues and now are having to call in IT guys to fix them. So far mine are working fine but I'm not using much of the software but he is going to send someone out to spend the day helping with any issues. Most of the stuff I use is web based so it is not that hard to use and its alot of the stuff I have used for the past couple years.

Yo mama's so fat, she wore a Malcom X tee shirt and a helicopter tried to land on her.

Yo mama's so dumb, she thought a cheerio was a donut seed.

Re: F... Bill Gates...

11k? 5.5K? WTF? Is he selling you a server or a workstation? You can buy the most amazing machine and 30" monitor form Dell for 3K.

I needed 4 work stations for an office. I told the guy to give me the works thinking it would be like a home computer and run around 1,000 each station but he figured the mack daddy office system. After I saw his price and coughed up a few things he realized I needed just a basic off system with a few extras. I did get 3 other bids and his was cheaper on one and was about $600 more then the other two bids. That was close enough for me because he is a customer and spends $ with our office each year. What I actually purchased I can tell you they meet the specs I needed and they work after that I have no clue. The guy who did come in from our home office to convert me from our old company owned system over to my new system said I have a nice system for my needs.

Oh I thought he was trying to sell you just 1 machine for 11k. ~5K for 4 workstations isn't bad.

Ok back to the mama jokes:

Your mama is so stupid she reckoned a Quarterback was a refund.

Your mama is so poor they put her photo on food stamps.

Your mama is so damn poor even the Republicans were willing to give her welfare.
