Re: [school-discuss] Getting the Specs

["j. Tim Denny" <johndenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mark... excellent list...

so now what is the real price.... sure looks to be about $100 now just a guess... I would say $50 in parts in the numbers are right.... but you need to then add in transport, packaging, development and other such costs... so conservatively $100 is my guess..
