I believe for a long time they have said that the first ones would cost
more--$100 was an ambitious goal that would require a lot of time to
achieve enough volume.  They may have initially hoped to hit $100 with
the first batch, but I think that turned out to be impossible.

The small binary attachment on every message I send is my PGP digital
signature, not a virus.  If you don't know what that is, you can ignore it.
If you do, my keyserver is pgp.mit.edu.
