We found out later that everything that our drunk Scotsman said was in English... who woulda thunk it ;) But seriously. It's equally weird in the US. We do and we don't get stuff. Generally I was surprised that the 770 was available in the US as "small" usually doesn't make it here. A 15Kg laptop, no problem. The latest micro laptop from Fujitsu or Sony... Only way to get it is to go to Japan, buy it and bring it home to pay taxes on. That for me was why the 770 caught my eye, and wallet. (My Libretto was bought over seas and man did I love that little sucker.) James
