My brother Mike told me that he wanted to open a computer repair shop. I knew that he had always wanted to do this, so I told him that I would help him get it up and running. I found accompany that sold iseries servers online and bought one, so that he would not have to worry about that big expense right from the start.

He called and told me that he had found a used bladecenter server and went ahead and picked it up, because the price was so good. I did not know what to say, other than okay. I was hoping that I could return the iseries server before he had found out what I had done. I did not want him to think that I did not think he could handle getting this thing started.

I contacted the company where I had purchased the iseries server and explained the situation. They told me that they do not accept returns. I could not believe it. I was going to have to ask my brother to return his used bladecenter server after all.

When I told him the whole store, he laughed and said that he would rather have the new iseries server that I had gotten for him, and he would just sell the used bladecenter server in his store and maybe make a few bucks at it.
