It's a two edged sword here, I can spend as much money as I want, however, revenue must be tied to it but I'm on the sales side of the house. My operational counter parts are spending steadily, as the majority of the items\services needed are priced very well during these times. We're actually addressing this very same topic in a panel discussion format in January '09 and I'm searching for a couple of extra panelists. You interested, Alex? :)

You're all the admins who actually buy the stuff that people like Sunbelt (and many, many others make). How are you seeing the recession impact your buying decisions? Are you being told to hold off until "later"? Is it business as usual? Or is it a bloodletting? Are you still buying cheap stuff but not buying expensive stuff? Etc., etc. Maybe I'm opening the Pandora's Box here, but I think we need to all look at the situation realistically.
