- The educational price of a Mac IIsi 5/80 at The University of Texas
- (Austin) will drop to $1499 on August 1. This is from an official
- price list. Many other models also drop in price, but I don't
- remember specifics about other machines.
-
- I have no information about impending non-educational price cuts, but
- it seems likely that there is a connection. If so, this would be a
- bad week to buy a Mac....
