Yeah, When the K20 came out, I said I'd get it when the price dropped
to $1000. So, I waited until the price dropped to $700, and paid
$1000.

I just talked to Pentax, $287 to repair the camera.
Sorry that your month of March was marred by this accident, Larry. But
you'll be back out there capturing photons in no time. Even less than
no time if you pay Pentax a rush fee up front.
From my experiences with manufacturing clients and in computer sales
& service, I can tell you that your repair price is within 10% of what
it costs Pentax to manufacture the little beast.
I know for a fact that the Macintosh Plus cost $283 to be manufactured
back in 1986, another $55 per unit for marketing, distribution and
support. And it sold for $2299.00. Apple has always sold on the high
end of market value, which is why they usually have more cash reserves
than Micro$oft.
