the unwillingness is due mainly to bureaucratic problems, it's not

paying for things under 50$, so they had an external supplier buy them
for it, and settled the account with him, at the end of each year,
when it accumulated to a bigger amount.
i also wanted java 6 but in israel there weren't many projects using
java 6. so it was "safer"
