Young ones may not remember this
Reminds me of an old joke.
A man is standing on Wall Street. He has a sign that says 'Pencils For Sale." A broker walks up and asks how much for one pencil.
"$50,000.00"
"$50 thousand for one pencil? At that price you're not going to sell many."
"At that price I only need to sell one."
This and the Send Me to Heaven app (throw your phone as high as you can, higher height means higher score) were two of my favorite early apps clearly designed to mess with people buying expensive devices as status symbols.
