That's my main tool, my "axe" and I haven't really thought about how much I have tied up in it down the last dime but I suspect I probably have at least 25 thousand invested and it's getting obsolete by the second right now......

I lost well over $350 thousand dollars worth of gear in that quake. I got back about two cents on the dollar.......

So if you're asking if I have as much invested in my video gear as a trucker has invested in his rig, the answer is, I actually have MORE, and at one time I had WAY WAY WAY MORE invested.......


Well, $25K is "chump change" in the truck lot. (And if the EPA/OA/ATA gets their way it probably won't even be "pitchin' money" !)

As for the rest of your inventory litany, its all Greek to me !

OTOH, a claimed $350K depreciative capital investment against what sort of ROI ? One very real reason I'm not posting from "OTR" is I couldn't make the "cost/return" numbers come out better than 10% on a depreciating "asset". >Mech
