If you want one for home check E-bay, there are good deals to be had. Also, for serious work, the $500 is money well spent. After getting used to using one at work I had to get one for home. No, I didn't spend $500 on it either.
On topic - there are some guys that are just happier playing with electronics than managing people. I could see how selling your company to a larger corporation is a valid way to do that. You can push the admin junk off to others letting you stay in charge of the vision of the products and keep your hands "dirty", but have people with the full time job of running the show. pfarrell;407604 Wrote: > iPhone wrote: > > I'm with you.
