Over the past month or two I've seen ads in the local Seattle newspaper
in which Ballard Computer was selling the LJIII for $1399 if you also
bought a toner cartridge from them (they didn't mention the price of
the cartridge, but I would figure about $100).  Their "specials" seem
to come and go; good for a week, then revert to a higher price, then
a week or two later they run the same ad that's good for another week,
etc.  So the strategy is simply to wait them out until they have another
special - it shouldn't take more than a few weeks.  I don't know about
the price of memory.
