How can facts be BS, Rob?  The truth is that iSeries prices have dropped
dramatically along the line, even for the top end machines, but those with
interactive feature have dropped less.  This is fact.

It's true: machines with the interactive feature cost a ton more money than
those without, and thus the interactive dongle is effectively a very
high-priced item.  But that doesn't remove the fact that everybody is
getting price breaks these days.
