pae We may have to regard deals as have been reported from MR/AB as opportunities to be seized when available - but not counted on as a stable resource. I called Viewsonic.... they told me to call their national refurb distributer in Dallas the outfit is called Direct Source. No URL, but the very informative salesman (this guy was willing to converse with me not just respond to direct questions) I spoke with confirmed that no P815 were available now but the situation changes daily. He would not sell to me as an enduser directly but suggested I keep checking back with him and when P815s were available I would have any local retailer call him directly for shipment to them. They makeup and I buy from the local retailer. If Direct Source price to retailer is low enough, this might work out. According to the saleman at Direct Source they are first to get the refurbs from Viewsonic then they distribute. So I hope to intervene at this point of the distribution chain. If you want the Direct Source number let me know.. Clarence
