It is indeed OPS (over priced shite).

But then it makes you wander... Are the manufacturers better off selling say 10 units at 1000 Zonk's apiece or 1000 units at 10 Zonk's apiece.

What gives... :doh:

The answer I think is obvious. The manufacturing costs of the 10 units are almost bound to be less than the manufacturing costs of the 1000 units. But that is probably not the full equation, you need to factor in dealer slurp.

Trillian: What are you supposed to do with a manically depressed robot?

Marvin: You think you've got problems. What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don't even bother answering. I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer.

My eyesight's getting worse. When I first glanced at that picture of the Mu-so I thought it was for making coffee!
