What are the margins?

That I don't know, but DJ has mentioned over and over that the key to profits is selling the higher margin C800s and C1000s. I would think that the smallest unit of Capstone's product line-up (except for the iPad APP) would also carry the smallest margin.

When the math was done on the Australian order (using your numbers) I believe it was quite obvious that the announcement of "44 C30s and the possibility of hundreds more in the next 5 years" wasn't that big of an order, as far as revenues were concerned (the PPS seems to have been reflected on that news also--flat lined.) Had that been 44 C1000s we would be rock'n.

Since Capstone doesn't usually name the Company that their sales force sold to I doubt that the data on the margins is rather tightly held. Also, there are too many variables involved to give an accurate answer even if we had the price to build and ship.

Perhaps you can fill in the rest for me with a "funny" story.
