We're leasing the NetApp, and the F5s are only partially paid off
(bought from Exodus).  There's nothing else of real value up there - all
the servers are PeeCees running linux, and could be replaced for
*little* money.  I can replace the Netapp cheaply enough, and the F5s
are not totally necessary due to an odd progression of events.  So if I
lose those, I don't lose any money.  I can replace the servers for ~$800
a piece as needed.  Yes it will cost, but the cost of replaceing my
infrastructure is *sooo* much lower than continuing to pay Exodus's
exhorbitant fees...
