You gotta read between the lines. I'm sure many 32x buyers in 1995 were jumping on their 32x when they realized what they paid $150 for. :)

"Distinct" my ass. I recently painted my master bathroom, and I assure you there aren't 2 million distinct shades of green. Shit, there are only fifty shades of grey.

My D material is always free.

Honestly, 16.7 million is a made up number by some crappy fake math equation. And such a perfectly rounded number at that. Not 16,753,212...No no. 16.7 million.

Marketing garbage.
