The card tookin a major price drop--that's amazing! :)

I'm glad to see they need to drive demand by giving us a price that's closer to the x86 version.

Now, if the street price will go down $50 too...

The price has been low at several online retailers for weeks already, such as http://www.compuhq.com/atira98proma.html

At least, their online ordering price was promising. :)

Wow! There's another Floridian.

I would've used AT LEAST three exclamation marks!!!
OMG, a 14% price drop for a tech gadget, what a sensation!!! Unbelievable!!!

And besides, exclamation marks are just soooo much fun!!!!!!!

If only I weren't still running on a decrepit old 2x AGP G4 tower...

Now they can easily add that to the Rev. B G5. Another reason to not increase prices.

Given the fact that OSX natively supports multiple button (as in MORE than two buttons :P) mice, I think it would be safe to say that most mac gamers have invested in a third party mouse.
