I read in PC-Week where Toshiba had dropped their price on the T-2000
series by about $1700 down to around $3700.  Naturally, I would have
expected the mail-order market to reflect a somewhat comparable price
reduction, but people are still quoting street prices of around $3100.
Anyone have any insight on this?  Also, I'm wondering whether anyone
might care to speculate on why Toshiba seems to think they can charge
$1000's for extra memory on this machine?  I don't know about any of
you, but the convenience of a user-installable credit-card memory
system sure isn't worth that kind of money to me.  Is there a chance
that third parties might offer compatible expansion memory or is
this technology proprietary to Toshiba?

This is a nice machine, but who can afford it?
