Maybe this example.  The decision to purchase and have available a parachute 
sort of goes like, "if you're lucky, it will be a big waste of money, if you're 
not lucky, it's one more thing to try on the way to the crash site".

Augering in is sort of final ....

Some of our customers have been pushing for constant up time.  With internet 
stores, they can be receiving orders any time.  However, they have looked at the 
cost of multi-site clusters, and decided DR was "good enough" for them.  It's a 
business decision.
