I recently ran across a newspaper ad from several years ago when they were selling for $379. I bought mine early in '98 for $179, and they are now going for $79. The wireless keyboard is an extra $50. The mouse and all the wiring to hook up to phone jack are included in the $79. They don't have a disk drive, but for all of the applications I mentioned no software is necessary anyway. I do have a pair of sony playstations that I hook up to the monitor from time to time. I suppose next there will be a little auxillary disc drive that can be plugged into the front of the monitor just like a playstation. The next generation of these boxes are expected to be about the size of a radar detector in a car. There's really not much to them at all. I'm surprised AOL isn't going to just give theirs away for free in order to rope in subscribers. They should.
