That isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things, actually. After all, there's a lot more costs involved. When I was doing the flea market, I needed 100% margins. Remember also, the main customer base is more used to click and point - ie, less technically savvy, ie, needing more help. There are a lot worse things, like the F5 load balancers that's just a 1.2 ghz PIII that retails for $42k. Or worse yet, the nortel contivity, which was $30k -after- discount. We opened it up, just a freaking 700mhz PIII. It was such a cheap mb that it still had the integrated audio jacks on it.
Don't get me started. I opened a $30,000 XP-based A/V box at work the other day to find out it had some crappy $50 pseudo RAID card doing RAID 1. I didn't buy it so I kept myself from looking around at the rest of the parts to avoid discouraging behaviour. Greg
