I am making an educated guess based on what They did for years on low end low priced cameras And looking at what they charge for much more Costly things like anti ahake ( that's $100 retail). I don't know for sure and either do you otherwise. jco

Does the $5.00 reflect only the cost of materials, or does it include any manufacturing and setup costs to implement the item in cameras that were designed not to include the part? Even though it's a mechanical part, might there not have to be some software or firmware changes to use the simulator in a camera such as the K10D? What would be the cost of upgrading or changing the firmware to accommodate such a change? How can the "trivial" cost of software be LESS than the _free_ GB code? If the cost is trivial, there's still a cost, and if the GB code was, indeed free (unlikely - someone was paid to work on it), then the trivial cost becomes greater than that which you have self-proclaimed is free. Why do you keep harping on this? We all know your position, some of us even agree with you, yet you won't just let it go. You drone on and on and on with the same tired and worn out rhetoric, making yourself look all the fool. Are you on some meds that you have neglected to take? Shel > [Original Message] > From: J. C.
