I was curious why this Vancouver was going for so much more than the Genius also

Now if only everybody would quit watching ebay for a week while I pick up a good
 used computer at a decent price! Or you could even put a Berlin Pro on that
auction site, Steve, that would make me happy. :) I haven't managed to get one
yet.
