John,
I just looked at Dataq's web site, it looks like the DI-194RS
is still $25.  The 154 is $150, were you looking at that?

One thing to be cautious about, at $25 they are selling
the box at or below the cost of producing it, so it is being 
used as a marketing tool for their software.  This means 
the offer might go away if Dataq decides to shift marketing 
resources.

Jack
