 <description>Great points, Robert. Not an inconceivable situation at all. More of a likely situation as these laptops are shown to have value, and especially if they are distribution scarce in one area, where selling it on the black market could net greater profits than what it cost. &lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

It’s a great design project being done by some great designers (my father’s an MIT alum; I am required by birth to promo the place).
