[CUBE] Monitor Prices and the High End Studios

[FrankG]

I believe there is a group of well off studios, designers and 
programmers who laugh at $3500 for such a beautiful monitor.
They have to have the latest right away- And Apple knows that. They 
create with them in mind and then dump the excess to the general market 
a year later-We all know one of these guys who always is first on that 
Apple receive list.

BTW - My first MacII FX system c1990 cost $35000- the Raster Ops 
Monitor was $5000- The Video Card Was $4000-

Computer Equipment is cheap these days guys and we are still trying to 
squeeze that turnip.

We should all be ashamed
