Perhaps, but it seems a bit much even so.  Whatever happened to what Harry
Sterling said last HPWorld about prices coming down?

          ==========================================================
Mathematics is often erroneously referred to as the science of common sense.
Actually, it may transcend common sense and go beyond either imagination or
intuition. It has become a very strange and perhaps frightening subject from
the ordinary point of view, but anyone who penetrates into it will find a
veritable fairyland, a fairyland which is strange, but makes sense, if not
common sense.
