Complaining about a 4.7k tool. That's a fraction of the license
cost for a workstation in my office, about the price of a cheap
ultrasonic testing machine and a fifth of the really expensive
equipment I have to buy to stay in business.  They can charge a
tool charge and they'll be in the green after 9-10 battery
change. Especially since they charge 85$ an hour for junior
staff that they pay 17$.  RE: Whiny dealerships By Pneumothorax

that you would willingly pay $4,700 into your business, without
ever any hope of getting that money back, let alone a profit?
I'm pretty sure when you buy your ultrasound machine, you buy it
with the intent of making a profit or at the very least,
breaking even. Unlike GM, the dealerships can't bank on a
bailout from .gov, witness the number of dealers that got
screwed with the last 'bailout'
