If a customer will not give VSI a reason to work with them, ie; they are going 
to be purchasing stuff, even if it's only service, (did I really write "only 
service"?) then I doubt VSI will be working with them.

So yeah, if someone has a system just sitting there doing a job, and has no real 
concept of "value" in VMS, that's all that will happen.
