Actually it is just socialism but, yeah, it was still an ideal that didn't pan out.

Getting a touch more serious again:

I have been tongue-in-cheek for the latter part of this discussion but my central theme still rings true - it is a shame that there is some lovely functionality that we "average" consumers are deprived of.

I find it unusual that the only way to justify the cost of $300 for the crystal version is to say that normal users do not have it (in a generic form); I would have naively thought that the fact it displays the company's own logo makes it worth that. Especially compared to other advertising costs.
