if that is a question then no they are not rip offs....maybe you should try working on a ten year old pos that Bobbys friend worked on and cut the wires and ran new in ten different colors that dont match or maybe stripped out two bolts and you get the blame for it even if its rusted so bad covered in cow schit it was going to break anyway...and as far as things being simplified with a plug in port for a computer I would say you have very little experience if you think it is that easy
