I wrote the author and asked him to get me one. He responded that the stores in his area discontinued that offer. Well, last Sunday, just by happenstance, I learned of a store from that chain here in Rochester. I walked in and sure enough, behind the pick-up counter (not on display mind you) was the BI-80 for 24.97!!! Needless to say, I bought it then and there. It was the last one in stock. Moral of the story? Check for a Toys R(backwards) Us store in your are before paying $99 from computer stores or even 60 or 70 on mail order. Its a really nice bargain. Paul Coene
