- The Campus Computer Store at the University of Chicago just dropped
- their price on the PowerBook 140 by about $450. The old price for a
- 4/40 was $2,370; the new price is $1915, which is what they were
- selling the PB 100 (4/40 with external floppy) for a month ago. I
- don't know how these prices compare with the non-academic pricing.
