Which the *point* is: in today's dollars it would be about $2800. I don't
think that's
such an attractive deal. People are grousing about $2000 vodocers as it is.
How many
$800 ribbon controllers would sell? 10? 20? Not worth the RODT (pronounced
rodent:
Return On Design Time). And YES, it would cost that much!

I like the Wacom digitizing tablets. 8 bits of pressure resolution.4 sizes.
Wireless pens. Cool.
