That's pretty funny. A couple of months ago I saw Circuit City trying to sell a Compaq laptop for in excess of $300,000. I sent them an email letting them know and they reduced the price appropriately.

Wait a minute. I just read the whole thing and that's the actual price, WTF?

Read further. The case contains 80 carats of diamonds, the accents on the laptop are white gold, and the Tulip emblems are square cut rubies.

"E-go" is indeed a good name for this model - only someone with a massive ego could justify the price.
