Apr 16, 2011 at 10:56 comment added Sven @bshacklett: The difference between hardware and software is that hardware has a very short shelf life and replacement products even by the same manufacturer are often very different, making any recommendation invalid after a short while. Software on the other hand tends to be very similar from version to version and if I recommend foo v1.0 as fitting for a certain problem, this is likely still valid for foo 4.0 three years down the road.
Apr 15, 2011 at 19:05 comment added bshacklett I suppose I can see your point. At the same time, however, I've seen many questions looking for software packages that will accomplish a specific goal and these seem to be well received. The only difference here is that I'm looking for hardware rather than software. It's not as if I was looking for a quick answer on easily found commodity hardware. Thanks for responding, by the way.
