Thanks Alkis and Joanna, you are right.
If you add up the cost of the components and the cost of assembly -- even at 299 Euros -- we still make money (and Resellers can too). The SG&A (Selling, General, and Administrative expenses) are another subject. But, this is done with our discretion and with a certain budget in mind.
The Pegasos is NOT a loss leader.
The market has something in mind for the PPC because lots of *marketing* has put it there *and* IBM had a different strategy...
If there were PPC clones, the cost would be the same as the cheapest Win/Intel based solution you could find....think about it.
Have a nice evening.
R&B :-)
