IBM Transnotehas a lower price at Tiger Direct. The new price doesn't include the external floppy, port replicator, or 64MB mem upgrade. I have used the TN and it is an interesting package for the proper application. It doesn't do hand writing recognition, but captures the image on the page. I tried a couple of times to get the developer's kit from IBM with no luck.
