Just to clarify a little.  What you also get for the $2500 is free testing
and certification for all your new USB devices for a year.  Plug fests are
held about 5 times a year in various locations.  The testing takes 2 to 3
days.  If there are problems, they will help you identify the cause and
solutions, and time permitting allow retesting at the same plug fest.
Considering the cost, it's an incredible bargain for any company.  IMHO ;=)
