I agree; $399 is a good price for an internal. APS is currently selling 
the Quantum 105 for $399 as an internal, according to their ad in MacWeek. 
I wouldn't take the published prices in the monthly rags too seriously; 
the lead time for ads is so long that prices in fast-moving markets are 
only useful as guides. Call APS for their current price - they're probably 
right down there with everyone else.
