xxxie? I think you mean a IIIxe. I got one and I love it. It saved my ass many times last year (for long-neglected deadlines especially). My mother broke her IIIx and she went around hunting for a IIIxe (the m105's stink). Lo and Behold, even though they haven't been in production for about 2 years now, our local Best Buy had a demo box under their shelf. She got it for $90!!!!
damn, i knew something didn't look right! i love it too, i got my iiixe for 120 from staples, new. the m105's do stink imho. but you have to admit, the 330 does look pretty damned sweet.
