Hmm, IBM's web site says "Average Reseller Price" of $129 for their space saver keyboard , and Pricewatch lists two of the five resellers with an average price of $211. I guess that means the other 3 have an average selling price of $74 which sounds pretty good ;-) http://www6.pc.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/public_US/dealers.d2w/report?cntry=USA&base=84G2524&baseqty=1 Given the name "Space saver" it probably gets rid of all those extra semi-useless keypads. -castor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
