not-inexpensive? I know slashdot editors aim for obscurity, but what's wrong with "expensive"?

expensive is a term no longer allowed to describe home electronics.

It is the Ministry of Advertising's feeling that all products should be described in various degress of inexpensive for their price range:
inexpensive
almost inexpensive
barely inexpensive
not inexpensive
nowhere near inexpensive

you should be modded not-uninsightful

Everyone has me to thank for this....

... since if I had not just bought a Tivo last week, and a DVD recorder the month before, this would never have happened.
