    oops... I take that back... sorry... didn't see the price tag... maybe later.

    At $1564 USD, the price is a bit steep for most of us, but I'm sure it'll find its niche.


    At that price, I'd expect to get the Optimus *Prime* keyboard, and it better transform into the leader of the Autobots, too!

    I'm so pleased about this advance warning, giving me a chance to cogitate on the early stages of beginning to anticipate the eventual opening moments of the new dawn of an opportunity to gear up for a period when, soon, there will be a new, imminent development foreshadowing the approaching onset of the start of my chance to, on a first-come, first-served basis, pre-order this thing.

    I don't care if it comes with a "summon the slave girls to come orally satisfy me" button -- if it ain't ergo, it ain't worth it

    It doesn't, but you could program it to have one.

    Slave girls not included. Slavery maybe illegal in your country
