I'm afraid I don't know how much the machine is; and asking around at my 
institution probably won't help much either, since we are bound to have 
some sort of institutional discount. But any good electronics store will 
surely either stock them or at least - if they're too new to be on the 
shelves yet - will be able to tell you how much they are. Also (for Paula's 
case), if you want this for work to do with your job, mightn't you be able 
to get one at an institutional discount through your School District?

All the best - byin le boujou!
