However, I won't make the mistake of assuming that you do not know what you are talking about. It is entirely possible you know of what you speak and not just another irrelevant statement.
So please let me know where I can buy these for $99. Even if the supply is limited I would like to stock up. Heck on eBay they go for $250 and up refurbished. New they are still $399 and higher.

However it looks like we were both wrong... currently it is neither $399 nor $99. The 6700 isn't even offered for sale on the website anymore.
As for the relevancy of my statements... I disagreed with stealing software, which was brought up by the OP, making it a relevant statement. I also opined that the software would not be made available for the Apache. This is the Apache forum, and that opinion was also relevant.

I think the word you are looking for is ironic. It is not hypocritical to look down on pirated software just because I like to watch movies I paid for using the OS of my choice.

One typically does not request that another refrain from repeating a statement unless one finds it offensive. Although you did not say the actual word itself, I inferred it. As I have already said, my comment was not in poor taste and it was on topic.
This is the Apache forum after all. All I did was state my opinion about whether a particular piece of software would be made available for our device. I see no reason why that should not be considered prudent.
@Wizzard: I do, however, find it quite rude to call me swine just because you disagree with my opinions.
