That may be your opinion, but we have sold these at FAR
higher prices, based not only on parts-cost, but the
stability of these systems (witness the many posts
on the NGs regarding system stability problems...)
and the support we offer (which includes basic
operational and editing instruction and immediate
access to advice and help by 'phone and email - things
you do NOT get for "$1200"...;-). For that matter,
you do not even get a set of parts for these computers
for anything close to $1200. As stated in the post,
references are available from people who have bought
editing computers from us - and they are "glowing".

Perhaps your "Greater Fool" theory *is* alive
and well after all, but maybe not in the way
you intended...;-)
