We'll never see prices like those unless we encourage such cutthroat
competition that the market reaches a point of critical mass
at which a shake-out is almost certain.

In other words, I can hardly wait for the day when we'll be
flooded with all sorts of cheap RISC work-station clones.
(Remember the PC clone wars?)  Then, you'll probably see
a Parcstation I (clone of the Sparcstation I) go for about 
...oh...  $1000.
