Gordon,
If you don't mind my asking: What do you get for $150.00 ?
According to Google this morning:
150 U.S. dollars = 79.0305585 British pounds
But because I live in the UK and deal exclusively in GBP, I meant half the
UK price. That might not have been clear in my email.
So, I can't get a lot for that ($150/£79), but for £129 I can get a 1GHz
Via processor in a nice thin client box with an external "brick" PSU and
1GB of RAM.

For me, it's the perfect small-office PBX system and I've deployed quite a
few of them now.
For a long time there's been a US -> UK conversion for imported stuff
where they basically replace the $ sign with a £ sign, and it seems this
is almost what's going on here. (We call it "rip-off Britain")
At the current exchange rate, $300 is just over £150 and for that, I can
get my 1GHz systems complete with a 128MB flash IDE drive.
