This has not worked in previous years and we've had suboptimal streaming
as a result. It's time to get it done properly and make ourselves look
Apple-good.

We had this same discussion last year, and nothing has changed. We should
be in a better position this year to actually make this simple decision.

And if buying is cheaper than renting, why not just take the cheap option?
Think of it as renting with a free computer at the end.
