The three hundred dollars I spent on my laptop is combined with the money of millions of others to give Intel a hefty profit.
The $2000/year these folks spend on their engineers is combined with what?

"They get a paying customer and improve their offering. But I still feel a little bad. Because I know that most of them will never makeup for the time and heart they invested"
