If you read his article would notice he never said Apple *should* sell the GS for < $100. The point is that Nintendo sells boatloads because it's cheap, not because the technology it uses is anything great. Obviously, they wouldn't make any money if they sold GS's for < $100, but they could sell them a lot cheaper and still make money, and they'd sell a lot more of them that way too. -- ------------- Jerry Penner alberta!bode!jpenne Edmonton, Alberta, Canada "Old error in new dress is ever error nonetheless." -- Screwtape to Wormwood
