Unfortunately, most all of the Circuit City stores in the country are sold
out, and their warehouses are out of stock too. I just ordered one from my
local store, and will hopefully have it within a week or two (I did it this
way instead of through netpliance because that way I don't have to pay
shipping, and don't have to sign up for their ISP service).

Now the only things I'm concerned about are 1) finding the 2.5" IDE
connectors, and 2) deciding which USB ethernet to buy. (I'm also worried
that I should have bought 2 or 3 instead of one, but that's another story ;-)

I wonder how long this price will last...
