 ok - mark: you may have noticed that i was finding it somewhat
challenging to ensure that irritation at what you'd written did not
get transmitted through.  perhaps instead i should be listening to
you, and, when the factory i'm engaged with manage to create a product
with a BOM of say $100, i _should_, just like apple and all other
large corporations, make sure that it retails for $300 and above! :)

 just to make sure that people actually value it properly.

i dunno... what do you think? :)
