To all:

Doubtful that the 770 has bit the dust. None of these new models have the
higher resolution screen (1280 x 1024 pixels) and the new 20+ GB hard drive.
These are the things that set the 770 apart from the other models. I'm
disappointed that the higher resolution screen has not made it into the 600
series. Perhaps there is a technical complication that prevents this from
being done.
