  17. Yes, it's true that packaging could cost less than $200.  However, don't forget
  18. the time spent designing, debugging, etc.  Time spent in QA.  Time spent
  19. writing usable documentation.  Time spent bugfixing.  All of these require
  20. good people.  Good people cost money (and well they should - they need to
  21. eat, too).
  22.  
  23. Certainly a mailing list full of software engineers should recognize the
  24. value of their work, and the amount of time and energy it takes to make a
  25. good product.
