This is GREAT! Any chance we can get a peek at the prices? :-)
Hopefully, if the cut is big enough, I'LL even be able to scrape up the 
means to buy one...

It's nice to read that C= is doing so well with the Ed. discount from someeone

sick of seeing their stupid 'PS/2 It!' ads everywhere, especially when I see 
the 'discounted' prices which are still outrageous.
