James,

	Once again you are ignoring the intangible costs (circuit board 
tooling, case, assembly). If Cloud9 sent out bags full of chips that we 
were supposed to dump on our tre motherboards they would probably be 
pretty cheap. I doubt they would work very well though. I also think you 
are ignoring the economies of scale that the PC enjoys. I could have 
sworn that from the early thread that you mentioned that you have 
produced hardware for the Amiga. Don't know why you don't know this already.

Glen,

	I like the solid sound the Teacs make when stepping. Like the sound a 
Mercedes door makes when closing. But if it quits working I'm not gonna 
replace it with something that is equally long in the tooth.

Mark,

	Do I need to be worried about you getting sick from inhaling noxious 
fumes of one kind or another?
