Thanks for the information, I never had any problem with the disappointment you have with this system costing 100 crore to develop! That seems to be a legit question that 100 crore sounds too much but then you have stated this yourself that in case of Gov projects the actual price is only 10% of the price on paper, so I guess that should lessen your disappointment by 90%!
My problem was if you were comparing the development cost with the unit price, for that you have asked “where the hell did I say the whole system cost Rs.8000???”
Well, you didn’t exactly say that the whole system should cost Rs 8000 but in your very first post you complained about the development cost of 100 crore and then in same breath, in your second sentence you stated that a system like this should merely cost RS 8000, (As if you were comparing the two prices, implying that you were trying to compare the development price with the unit price. If you were not doing that, fine then, but that’s what the impression it gave)
This is what you said in your first post… “1980s design this device should not cost more then Rs.8000 each.. I was expecting much better device and system when I heard the spending amount (100 crors) on it.”
So after getting this impression from your post, I tried to make this distinction in my first. Instead of clarifying it in your second post (what you clarified in your third post) you only bragged about your experience. That compelled me to ask you again if you are confusing the two prices! So I guess no arrogance anywhere on my part!
By the way would you mind showing me a system like this, off the shelf maybe, costing RS 8000? The system you showed earlier didn't mention anyehere how much it costs, unless I have missed it.
