My brother ran a really successful law practice and was one of the best lawyers in the state. He did not however know anything about computers, other than the system he had at his office and how to check email. He relied on a team of computer guys that he had hired many years before. I had taken some college courses over the summer, just because I was interested in them.

My brother called me one day and told me that their servers were giving them trouble and that he had to shell out thirty thousand dollars to replace them. I asked if he had thought about putting in used servers. He said that he wanted reliable servers, not used servers that were probably a problem for someone else and that are why they would be cheaper.

I sent him an email with the name of a company that sold refurbished used poweredge servers and guaranteed them also. He sent me a reply that said he had his computer guys check it out and that the used poweredge servers were a really good idea. By buying used servers, he was able to save fifteen thousand dollars. That made him very happy and I was glad to have helped him.
