What's the margin on that? Do 5 software engineers really subsist on the spread from moving $2M/yr in hardware?

Looking at their boxes, I'd guess 20-ish%, once the labor costs of designing the boxes is out of the picture. I imagine George doesn't take a salary, or at least takes only a small one. They have a contract with AMD as well. I'd bet the company is modestly profitable.
