	It is in fact as Drew stated. It's a typo, either on purpose or
accident. The paper lists the model number and MB instead of GB for the
hard drive. I'd like to see Vista run on that one! The price is listed
in the paper as $50, no limit or restrictions. I'm going to try, but I
can allready tell you what they'll say........
