i doubt a 50% profit..
markup maybe..
50% gross margin.. ? possible..
but profit, i think not..
i'm not sure what the economics are, but after tech support, plant, inventory,
sales, support, taxes and so forth, its hard to say what the exact profit is..

but as for me, give me profit, or give me.. uhh.. well, you get the idea..

i'm not selling memory, hard drives, thinkpads or anything else just to keep
busy..

when i was cruising on the boat, i could read, relax, enjoy my birds, take time
to cruise and explore the places we stayed at..

now, i have little time for anything but business..
(i must admit, i'm investing in other areas, but no profit = no business)

i thought communism was out.. ? :-)
