The $99 price are only for the machines that are recertified by the
factory... rather limited supply.  Even if they were $99 normally the
machine is unsuitable because of the wireless keyboard.  You can't
reliably have many wireless keyboards in the same room, and it is a
waste with the need for batteries.

It is too bad nobody manufacturs anything like this with a normal corded
keyboard and mouse.  I would definitely buy that at a maximum of $199
per terminal.  If they were mass produced it would be possible at that
price.
