[AG-TECH] Multi-Headed Display

[Don Morton]

Well, thanks a lot for taking my easy profit away - guess I
have to go back to working for a living :)

I realized after I sent out that email that the article I read
was from year 2000, and they were offering MSRP for anticipated
release in 3Q2001 - so, that's actually one heck of a price
reduction down to 300 USD!
