I'm not going to disagree as such (I have no idea what the wholesale cost of these machines is but I assume it is fine, or if it isn't that someone else sells one that is cheap enough.) I think that we can stipulate that quite inexpensive machines are possible, and concentrate on discussing what they might run (which is a much wider discussion -- see the last couple of days of discussion...)
