I'm not sure I can afford all of those extra zeros!
Well, we had to make an important business decision this time. It was either "$150.0000000" - a nice clean price with lots of zeros, or I was going to get pointy-headed and try to recoup all P2 investment over these next 100 boards, in which case we would charge about $58,000 per unit. That didn't seem too sensible, but adding all the zeros to the $150 makes us feel like we're getting somewhere.

I think I will try this technique with my paycheck to see if it makes me feel any better...on second thought I would then have to do the same with the taxes deducted from it and that would be depressing.
marsman2020, please send me a check for $5.8 Million, and I will accept your challenge.
IMHO, it depends how old you are, your actual life spectations, and a bit of luck...
How much does will cost, for your customer to get an insurance police, in order to warraty the stimated ~13 year-long process will not be suddenly disrupted, at any point, by you being forcefully invited to take a sudden, non-return trip, to the inner side of the event horizon, of some final black hole?

Did you really need to ask? ;-)
Yes please if it won't be too much of a distraction.
Thanks,

It would be great to get VIO and GIO calibration data off one of these boards, ASAP, since that data can feed into other efforts.
It'd be good to take a temp reading at rated 180 MHz too, my prediction with that nice big surface area is 18 C above ambient
Re: If you want a YouTube live stream of the first attempt at programming a P2 on the evaluation board let us know.
That would be great
Send anything over and we will load it up and report back.
Ken Gracey
Yes please live stream it. : ]
I'll be watching.

It's a very precise price.

I know the cases can't be made as fast as the pick and place machine can but tidies things up.

$150.00 is for the evaluation board with the chip installed, not just the chip.

I've got my credit card out... Waiting anxiously...
Wait.. Is it today or next week?
I interpreted it as this week, today, right now. I, too, am waiting anxiously.
