Hmm. $4000 is more what the CD-WO stuff costs, but ok, I'll
believe that for now. Anyway, that would change everything ...
normally, companies simply don't do that kind of thing for you.
QC might, even for a low volume, so that means those CDs could indeed
get costs effective.

BTW, as you all might have guessed: The little "poll" I started so
far evaluates to "once a year, make it well below $50, and try to
get the Apple stuff on there", and I don't expect the results
to change much.
