- Actually, Apple will offer special promo deals starting in August.
- Here at A&M, the 5/80 IIsi config will sell for $1500. I can get
- a 9/80 si, CD-ROM, grayscale screen, std keybd, A/UX for $3000.
- In fact, it's cheaper for me to buy the items separately and piece
- it together myself than it is to get one of Apple's pre-done deals.

- Apple is really doing some things with their prices. When I first
- bought my Mac + (still have it) back in '87, my Plus, ImageWriter II
- and Applecare cost $2500. Considering new technology and Apple's
- price cuts, look at how much more you get now.
