  I picked one up Saturday at the local Source.  Yeah, it's more
expensive, but it's walking distance from my place, near Dufferin and
Steeles.  The closest alternative is Canada Computers in North York.
The round trip is 2 TTC tokens at $2.50 each, plus an extra hour of my
time on and waiting for buses.

  It works.  The system requirements are listed as...
Windows: 98SE/NT/ME/2000/XP/VISTA/7
Mac: OS 10.0, Linux: OS 2.4 or higher

  Nice to see linux compatability explicitly listed on hardware.  As a
curiousity, the package comes with a dinky (4" ?) mini-CD with drivers
for WIN 98SE and 2000.
