	It was nowhere near that price, I paid less than $100. I
	was being cheap and trying not to spend the big bucks on a
	Toshiba brand supply, which I ended up doing anyway. Seems the
	Toshiba power jack is not quite what Targus thinks it is and
	charging was hit or miss. Toshiba's supply was well over $100
	and the Targus was less than $100. It's supposed to auto
	magically detect the proper voltage/wattage. Don't know how,
	it is magic. I'm a plumber after all ;) It's sat on my shelf
	ever since.
