Yes, the purpose of a private business is to turn a profit for its owners, but it's implied that operational incompetency of the owners put the business at risk. Which is laughably short sighted since they used the business to apparently buy a nice car.

Lets not turn this forum into Reddit quips.

Yeah, sounds like the IT situation was working within reasonable parameters for the company.

As a developer, I often see other developers/Adkins propose "huge improvements" only for it to cost much more than expected and deliver less. Maybe Ferrari guy was right to ignore this suggestion.

Ha I see that too at my group. I try to fight it. But buying a NAS for like few hundred <insert favorite major currency> just seems like common sense. Just buy it, connect it to a VPN, setup regular backps, then forget about it for a decade.
