 I was recently, today, in Toys R Us and was pleasantly surprised to find the
ATARI LYNX priced at $99.  It wasn't smaller, it was the smae LYNX I bought
last year when they were released in limited quantities in NYC.  Anyway,
As I looked at it, something strange told me to look at the box.  It is smaller
than the exceptionally large box the LYNX came in.  This is because the system
is now sold WITHOUT a power adapter.  I was also lead to beleive that the 
system no longer comes with a cartridge, while I find that HIGHLY doubtful,
the box did not mention that California Games was included.  But when I went 
into the games Isle, California Games was for sale, at $24.95!  So, Atari
has cut the price in half, but taken out to important features, a game(it seems)
and the power adapter.  The adapter sold for $7.95.
