Travis, I don't think you and I are very far apart - perhaps I didn't start by stating that I'm not an equipment geek gave the wrong impression - when I refer to upgrading early, it's business-driven upgrades, not equipment caprices. I accept your points but frankly they're all covered by my single broad exception, first with the worst. Businesswise, knowing when to sell without losing too much yet not too early in the development cycle is key.

I totally agree, Phillip. I definitely wasn't advocating being the last to upgrade. I even think being the first to upgrade CAN be the right choice at times. As long as you're making your business decisions based on what it logical for the success of your business ... you're on the right path. d;-)
