Hello Roy.

Roughly, $100 Canadian translates to about $70 USD.  It varies day to day.

Yep.  Linux is good.

Yes.  I am not sure about prices though.  $100 USD sounds a tad overpriced
but not too bad if one considers shipping costs etc.  I imagine they don't
make them where you are.  I thought the $80 USD reported here by others
sounded like a better deal but then it depends on your situation.  If it
costs $20 worth of gas to save $20 then there is no real saving is there? 
As far as rebates go I'd rather they just pass on the saving at the cash
register myself.

That happens.

 RT> Anyhow,  I'm still looking for deals.

Always.  The tricky part is affording the deals eh?
