i recall seeing a post here a few weeks ago to the effect that CMT was 
lowering their list price on the 128K card to $149, and that EduCalc 
was going to change their price "later this month."

then about a week later, someone posted saying that EduCalc had indeed 
lowered their price to $109.

i called the order line last night and the woman who took the call was 
quite clueless; she said the price was $149 just like it says in the 
catalog and was completely unaware of any plan to change it.  i guess 
it's my fault for calling a toll-free order line at such an odd hour 
(12am est, 9pm pst is their time, i think) but i was hoping the rumor 
was true.

does anyone know anything about this?  if it is true, when will it 
take place?  is there another firm that has already lowered their 
price for the card?  and you who posted that EduCalc lowered their 
price, whom did YOU speak to, so we can all gang up on him/her...

those 256K, 512K cards sound great but are too rich for my blood, 
especially while still vaporware...
