The $200 price tag is a bit steep for me, but I am not familiar with the market and whether this is reasonable or not. Coupled with an upgraded drive from Applied Engineering, the deal would be in the $500 range. But I am a po' college student and not representative of the public at large. *sigh* I think people will find that there has to be a lot of free/inexpensive stuff for a computer before things can get expensive. The GS started pricey, which may be one reason we are in a prediciament now. But the GS needs as many gadgets as it can get to be competitive. So, let's see this worthy endeavor fly! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |Jeremy Mereness | Support | Ye Olde Disclaimer: | |jm7e+@andrew.cmu.edu (internet) | Free | The above represent my| |a700jm7e@cmccvb (Vax... bitnet) | Software | opinions, alone. | |staff/student@Carnegie Mellon U. | | Ya Gotta Love It. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
