$10 million dollars? Converting from dollars squared, that's only about $3,162.28 in regular dollars.

So Shields cost $200K apiece? That's kinda expensive, this early in the game.

This has to be one of the worst headlines ever. Like an eclipse, it cannot be safely viewed without proper protection.

SQL Server masts only cost $2 million and do roughly the same job. However, they have a tendency to lock up if too many users use them at once
