From Joel Spolksky's "Camels and Rubber Duckies" (which is a great read in its own right):

>The joke of it is, big companies protect themselves so well against the risk of buying something expensive that they actually drive up the cost of the expensive stuff, from $1000 to $75000, which mostly goes towards the cost of jumping all the hurdles that they set up to insure that no purchase can possibly go wrong.

Personally, I'm just not interested in playing that game.

*Edit: Yet. Not interested in playing that game yet.
