Blimey all you needed to was;
"And what about after sales support? wouldn't you prefer to deal with a person 
face to face rather than over a telephone?"
and you could have been me talking :D

Mind you at least you didn't come out with;
"Can get it cheaper on ebay"

Ah but thats how they hook the uninitiated, you'd be amazed at how many SME 
businesses these days have the office manager or the accountant responsible 
for the computer systems they can generally do low level stuff like backups 
and so forth so when they see 'Server for £169.00' they're in like a shot its 
not until they're semi committed (they've told the Director what clever clogs 
they are by getting it really cheap) that the full cost hits home.

Moan over ;-)
