[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 201255, member: 15110"] First realize that customer pricing has pretty much zero relation to the actual product and associated costs. Take a look at cell phones, for example. You can get them for free sometimes, or else really, really cheaply (sometimes they even pay you!). iirc my Motorola v710 cost $99 and included a headset, leather pouch, etc. The v710 is a tri-band cell phone with a speakerphone, Bluetooth capability for wireless earpieces, MP3 player, video & photo camera, dual LCD screens, a slot for a memory card up to 512mb, text messaging, email, video games, and other stuff I haven't even played with. You'd think something that powerful and that small would cost $600+, but it doesn't. And yet the complete Adobe CS package costs well over $1,000. There's target markets, too. For example, Optoma sells a certain projector with two different markets. In the home theater market, the projector is called the "EzPro 739" and sells for up to $1,900. That same projector is also sold under the label "EzPro 745" and is targeted towards the PowerPoint presentation market and is sold for just $1,200. Go take a look at Target and Tiger Direct, respectively. The real question is, how much is it worth to [I]you[/I]? [/QUOTE]
