10.000 buyers?? i think that is waaay to high, i think it might sell 100-200
tops on a yearly basis. Also 50$ is way to high too for just the engine, 29.95$
max for that.

Where did you get 10.000 from? you do realize that only the readers of this
forum, the winboard forum and a couple of others are potential buyers of an
engine like Zappa and out of these only a few hardcore testers and fanatics like
myself would actually buy just an engine.

Well maybe i am wrong, but that figure Uri seems incredible at best.
