In fact it's a ridiculously cheap deal!

I guess I just worry that a few people paying $50/month isn't going to be
enough to cover a $2000-3000/month operating budget.

I also am a bit skeptical that the lazer will be a huge money maker (I'd
love to be proven wrong).  Maybe that's just because I don't have any
personal use for it (yet?).  I heard goldfish suggest we build and sell
little things for $5 or something (I forget the context).  I think that's
not worth our time.  If we want to make money selling something (that will
substantially benefit VHS), we need to A) sell 100's, and B) have a pretty
decent markup.  I think it's totally doable to start selling one or more
kits, perhaps partially assembled.
