is it the thought that really counts?

During Costco Death March today, i saw the Ultimate Arcade stand-up unit.  Eighty-one classic games.  Great stuff.  But the price is outrageous ($2000 in the store).  You can buy old video games for $10; assume that price for ancient, if "classic", games, and the cost of the stand-up arcade is $810.  So is the hardware worth $1200?  Highly doubtful.  Why are these pinheads trying to gouge classic game lovers?  People will probably stick to their homemade stand-up arcades with a PC and MAME as guts.

How did Leo Kottke record an album before i was born that sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday?  The whole thing is just stunningly good.  "Watermelon" makes me want to smile and cry at the same time.
