That's nothing, I saw a $130 hardware modem not long ago, believe it was at Newegg but not positive. I laughed as well :p Price makes sense though; economics of scale drive price, and not many people buy modems anymore, especially not hardware ones. You see the same thing with Macs.

:laugh: Posting on this board in your 20s makes you feel old before your time, I feel like a crusty old man for the most part when I'm here ;)
