I don't know firsthand about $75, but I really and truly bought one for $99 from California Digital, (800) 421-5041, or (213) 217-0500, 17700 Figueroa Street, Carson, CA 90248. They take VISA. You can even order one from Toronto. Really. Mine arrived in Seattle about 3 days after I ordered it. -- Dennis. uw-beaver!uw-nsr!uw-warp!dennis
