“I can’t tell you what the price will be, because I literally don’t know,” he said on the November 15 episode of the WAN show.

      You think healthcare businesses (I forget healthcare is a business in America, sorry) would be caught using Steam Machines as work stations? They would risk ridicule. Wouldn’t be taken seriously.
