I figure a couple of Ultras, an Oracle license, and a bunch (but not
that much comparatively speaking) of code, plus enough money to pay
for someone to drive out to fix the thing if it dies. 99% of the time
the whole system likely runs untouched by human hands.

Oh, and I have no idea how NSI spends their money.
