Mike,
Your costs sound more accurate.  No one can get a notetaker that is not in

Uh, shouldn't you be adding an extra zero in there, i.e., $2,000.00 for one
without display, $4,000.00 for an 18-cel display and $6,000.00 for a 32-cell
display? (grin)

Not exactly sure, but I think that they are going to run just about the same
($200 for no display, $400 for 18 cell display, $600 for 32 cell display)
regardless of where you get one.
