    "Just like any other cutting edge tech though it's not cheap, weighing in at between $40,000-$50,000 USD."

    Considering how expensive these things were less than 30 years ago, $40k isn't bad! Just think, a similar setup cost Steve Austin a good part of $6 Million!

    Seriously, though, I'm kind of surprised NY Times didn't include a link to Otto Bock's website for more info.
