I don't think they could put how much money you'd be expected to make, as that fluctuates in relation to the dollar etc.

But I'd be interested to know what 66 Gh/s means in practical terms too!

Just found this site, that calculates your profit http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/

Edit: This makes me wonder, why would you release this technology to the public.

I would say it's a safe bet that the developers of the machine has been running it for quite a while themselves and have meticulously calculated exactly the breaking point at which these machines will drive up the difficulty enough that it's more profitable selling them than it is running them for BTC.

If Avalon was running 20 TH/s somewhere, it would show up (considering that the entire Bitcoin network is only 25 TH/s).

My 7970, the fastest single GPU for mining, does 675mh/s overclocked to 1125mhz. Thats about 1/100th the speed of an Avalon.
