This is especiallly interesting as BE as a company does not exist anymore.
Their stock and all their technology was purchased by Pilot a couple months
ago for about 11 million.

Are you ready for the Final Scratch price tag of $23,000?

has the details
usual fantastic reporting from wired.
http://www.finalscratch.com/
normal final scratch comes with the little box and the two records and some
software. proFS comes with a 700mhz p3 vaio laptop running beos (which is
what final scratch runs under) and windows dualboot, finalscratch software,
the finalscratch usb dongle soundbox thing, the two special records, two
slipmats, a carrying case, support, cables, and costs $2,999 (including the
laptop). all this information is from finalscratch.com, mind you... two
clicks from the frontpage.
i think i also remember seeing on their site somewhere that they hope to
sell the normal final scratch (software, two records, and the little usb
dongle soundbox) for something around $500. last i heard, they were having
trouble porting the software from BeOS to windows/mac, and that a large
part of that price was the Be, Inc. licensing fee.
investigative reporting at it's finest,
