Thanks for pointing that out.  When I start to choose options I see other 
things that I want that will bring the price up:  built-in Bluetooth 
($20), integrated webcam ($25), Portable CD/DVD-RW Drive ($85), bag ($30). 
I end up at $609.  Still not a bad price.

I'm not buying one today.  I'll wait to see what I hear from other people.

Mike
