John..
welcome to the new world of E-commerace..
phantom merchandise, non-delivery of a confirmed order and so forth..
responses like "What?? WE sold YOU a ThinkPad??!!, please, don't call us,
we'll call you"
or
"Well the price is $2500, the shipping is $125, the payment processing fee is
$90 and handling is $50"
want to hear more?, just ask.. :-)
i have not looked for a 600E for a while, so i'm not "up" on the availability
today..
but these anbd the 570 have been highly constrained..
