- ... and in this week's (7/27) MacWeek another story says:
-
- "...Apple this month dropped the PowerBook 100 with 4MB RAM, a 40MB
- hard disk and external floppy from its retail price list. The
- configuration is now available at the Price Club, a San Diego-based
- wholesale merchant, with a price tag of between $800 and $900.
-
- The other PowerBook 100 configuration, which comes with 2MB RAM,
- a 20MB hard disk and an external floppy will follow suit. Sources
- said that Apple is considering selling it through mail-order
- distributors...."
-
- Now this might be the one to wait for if you want a really low-cost
- notebook...
