Andy, if I break my desk from hitting my head against it so much when you 
say silly things like this, I'm going to send you the repair bill.

And it will be "astronomically expensive". ;)

(Fibre was "astronomically expensive" when it was difficult to 
manufacture.  Advances in manufacturing technology make it a lot more 
affordable now than it was even 10 years ago)
