The used ibm printer that my boss had bought me four years earlier was finally ready to go into the garbage. I could not even get it to turn on anymore. I had sent it to be fixed probably about ten times over the past four years and was not putting any more money into it.

He would just have to order me a new one or another used ibm printer from the same company that he had purchased the pseries servers from. If he can afford to buy new pseries servers, then he can get me a printer that will turn on.

I sent him an email letting him know about the broken down used ibm printer and he responded by telling me that the company that sells the pseries servers, does not sell printers. I wrote back and asked if I could just go to the local computer store and get one since I really did not have the time to wait on something being shipped here anyway.

He okayed the purchase and I went on my lunch hour and found a used ibm printer that came with a guarantee for thirty days that was fifty dollars under the price that he told me I could spend. He was very happy with my decision to save money and buy used.
