He's talking in US dollars, Don.

To the OP - I've now bought 2 Dell Laptops, both times I've waited for 
the right deal for the ones that I've wanted, the Dells have _always_ 
come out as cheaper in relation to what you get - CPU, RAM, and Disk 
Space - than I've been able to find locally, i.e. in the Green Guide.

	Cheers,
