So you want your political leaders to be punished for
trying to do their job. That kind of thinking must
give lots of encouragement to those who intend to
destroy your lifestyle.

I thought MP wrote that he made the skins.

No matter how you slice it, thick skins packaging computer innards
costs money. You can have a good design, but the only people
who will buy if off the shelf are those who know the omputer biz.
No "consumer" will buy a $5000 system, if there's a $500 system
right next to it if both are running the same OS.

It pushes it up a lot. Just the testing cost oodles of money.

Now implement the production line that is so perfect all leaks
can't get out. Implement all the documentation and engineering
so that anybody, who opens the cabinets, can close them while
leaving no holes nor seams open.

And that, is just the beginning of the costs before the delivery.

Do you make each system by hand or do you design a system that
is to be put together on an assembly line?

If you make each system you sell by hand, that, by definition,
is extremely expensive.
