    Uk prices are dropping, probably due to the credit crunch over here.

    Picked up two A150l's for £185 each about a week ago.

    It has turned out to be one of my favorite gadgets of all time once I dumped Linpus and installed WinXP.

    Where? Best I've found is Canada Computers for CA$315, but Linux, not XP.

    We can buy but international shipping rates and customs tally up to a bit more than the store price here, actually.

    My cousin brought me the 6-cell Canadian 120GB XP model for $450US, which was about 330 EURO then. That's what the 3-cell costs here now (Montenegro) IF you can find it. The 6-cell was never available at all, and I doubt that it will.
