yes, a nice deal..
and then, when you order, from the sleazy tiger direct, they pack the sale
price with shipping and handling and sales tax in three states..
i tried to order with my resale number and they tripled the shipping and
handling charges..
said that the very expensive overnight shipping was for "safety" and they
could not ship ground..

so the "deal" is not such a great deal.. unless you figure its a good deal
for tiger and their usual hidden charges..
so as much as i would like a transnote, i'm not thinking about doing any
moon launches from the back seat of a VW.. :-)
