Hi,
I purchased mine from TechDepot. The girl I work with is Jillian Donlon.
Tell her I sent you. Not for any particular reason... just so she knows I
think she is doing a great job. Her number and extension are: 888-251-6443
xt 7562. The cost is $99 an yes I have been using them for the computer as
well as the Icon. Very nice.
John
