- Wait a minute! I'm pretty darn sure that the Toaster costs NewTek around
- $200 +or- a couple a $$'s in parts. They sell them to dealers at between
- $1400-$1650, that isn't a bad markup for a hardware item.
-
- Even including costs such as labor, manufacturing, etc. I doubt that the
- Toaster costs NewTek even half of what they charge dealers.

- Those $150 upgrades on Lightwave probably aren't even going to cover
- paying Allen and Stuart! (remember the huge amount of time they have
- spent on the 4.0 version)
