The Future Shop gift cards I traded for Avion points finally came in a few days ago.  It’s as well  I had to wait a month for them; the laptop I wanted went down in price by $100.  It was the last one in stock so they gave us an open box discount too.  The gift cards ($550) covered all but the taxes. 

I’m now spending quality time getting used to the keyboard which is a little different than the last Toshiba.
