Welcome to the corporate world, where you hang onto hardware until it absolutely breaks because that's the only time your boss will buy a new one. Where you buy aftermarket batteries with double capacity for long business flights. Where modularity makes a helluva lot of sense in a helluva lot of contexts.

And just because something hasn't worked in a particular setting doesn't mean it can't. It may well mean the implementation or time wasn't right.
