Let me be irrational and primitive about this.  Let me say that
I resent being teased by little deals like this.  Let me say that
I wonder how many toyed-with customers it would take to find the
idiot that does little pricing jokes like this -- like the kind of
person that sets technical information pricing (like the kind you
would need to, say, provide an enhancement or service that might
keep a product alive) at an outrageous level (like $900 dollars
a manual -- no exaggeration) -- and remove precious parts of his
or her body.  Just a (aggravated to the extreme) thought.
