	Well, Nick, I don't know about your side of the puddle, but I got my
Toshiba (Rated fastest by MacUser in their tests) for $900, WITH a $250
Wayzata clip-art disc and a (prerelease) public-domain disc thrown in for
free!  This was direct from Wayzata.

	COOL CD-ROM BUYING TIP:  When my Wayzata drive was already in the mail,
I found out about a place in Colorado (advertises in MacUser back pages) who
had a slightly worse deal.  I told them Wayzata was beating them, SO THEY
PROMPTLY OFFERED A BETTER DEAL!  So shop around, and feel free to tell them
what their competitors are selling for :-).

	PS., Wayzata is a great place to do business with.  I have no other
relationship with them except as satisfied customer.
