CCSI has already said the units will sell for $3000 to $5000, and the lensettes will sell for $10. I haven't seen any of the other info you mention. But since they neither manufacture or distribute these items, I assume their margins can't be that great. So 1000 units @ $5k = $5 million, plus a million lensettes @ $10 = $10 million, WOW! I'm going to have to buy me some CCSI! <G> ooops, I forgot to account for the demonstration (try before you buy) units, which are likely to account for 90 percent of these things, so they won't see any earnings for those units, although they count as revenue, don't they? [I remember a discussion about ENML's distribution of free tubes of toothpaste as counting as sales. (no earnings, of course)] On a happy note, ALTIF is below 5 again. Bill, I'm covering at 4 this time, don't try and talk me out of it. <G>
