Well....it might seem a bit high until you realize that it is an entire
computer unto itself.  It has a TI 34010 graphics coprocessor that can
be programmed in C.  In fact theoretically you could load almost the
entirety of Xwindows into it.  This speeds up hi resolution graphics 
nicely.  $1500 is the list price remember.  Anyway...I will be getting
one in a few days for evaluation purposes and will post my opinions on
its quality.

Have a good one.
