Where on earth did you get that price from? I bought mine at www.ple.com.au for $59 and it's even USB 2.0. I'm sure I could find one even cheaper. In fact, I just did, for only $44: http://www.eyo.com.au/details_M-UE202.html Another option might be a direct usb to usb connection from the laptop to another computer on your network. Still a third option might be to connect it to another computer on your network via the com port. I'm afraid I've never had the experience of implementing either of these solutions. :-( -- spammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo
