We are a small company. We do not manufacture 10K units just because we can
and because it's not "saleable" on our market.
Just as a lateral comment: It also makes VERY hard to manufacture a product
with a custom and "nice" enclosure, since a smelting matrix is, on most
cases, not affordable.

How ever, we need to provide our customer with what they need, because:
	- They will go out and pay the difference to get an imported version
of our product
	- So we can export if we see the possibility

Perhaps its hard to understand, Olin, I can see it. But we are actually
working on a market here that require a high end product, but in small qtys
and at a low price. That's actually the problem.

Regards,
Mauricio (Argentina)

Essentially none.  At 100 units the engineering cost will vastly dominate
and the extra parts cost due to internet connectivity is irrelevant.
