It was pretty much the same story at the Palo Alto Fry's. I saw at least 50 RDSs. They rang up at $69.99, but the boxes and the shelves still said $149.99. Since the boxes had been opened (who? why?) I appreciated having Paul's inventory. I counted (...) (24 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
