As much as it sucks, even though you are a major celebrity, you still have to pay for some things. Especially when there’s a chance you’ll get sued for $1 million.
In a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Ian Lewis claims that Prince, named as a defendant (along with his record label and fan club website), took 12 AVID IS SCSI Shuttle Drives worth $12,000, alleging that Prince and his people never had any intention of returning them or paying for them.
In addition, Lewis claims that a $25,000 computer, which was also loaned to Prince, was returned by his people “in a broken and un-fixable condition.” Computer blue!
From what I know of Prince, “broken and un-fixable condition” probably means the computer was painted purple.

The hell? what computer costs $25,000?
High-end servers can cost that much, if they run Unix. Used as web servers for hosting applications like, um, fan web sites.
