Go for it! This is a good machine and for $800 an excellent deal!
I was reading the reviews for the AL27... but it's a little bit more than I'd like to spend. Has anyone got any experience with the Sharp Actius MC24? They're got it at Best Buy right now for $950 w/ a $150 mail-in rebate... so if I did my math right, that's $800.
Anyways, if anyone has any input I'd love to hear it. Thanks much! ta-ta.
