The amortized cost of the equipment reveals that it performed reasonably
well,
even though the capital outlay to replace it all at once was a great
financial
hardship.

The capital outlay to purchase my plane was not a 'great financial hardship'
at all, yet your capital outlay to purchase a router, modem, and somne
cables was.

This means that the cost of flight simming is still only a very
tiny fraction of the cost of flying for real.

In fact, you've proven the opposite.

By the way, you never mentioned acquisition cost for your software. Does
this mean you somehow acquired it with no capital outlay?
