The Sweet P plotter is being sold by them for $124.95 plus $8.00 for all technical documentation and $3.50 shipping. But if you tell them that you Learned about them in SUM MAGAZINE, the price is $109.95 (documentation & shipping still the same)! The man to speak to there is “Jerry”. Lolir, 13933 N.
