Oh, dear. I bought this one for more... from Dabs... which are a terrible
middleman. Some time in 2006 somebody in the LUG's list said the price had
dropped to 127 quid. Still, it's good, isn't it?
By the way, those Dell machines that you mention don't bring profit to Dell.
Maybe just the logo does them some PR work. I could be wrong though...
