- Assuming that the CD-ROM adds ~$500, the Centris 610 with CD-ROM would
- cost roughly $2400. Question: Should I be feeling really STUPID right
- now for plunking down $2400 for a Performa 600 CD just prior to
- Christmas? I would have gladly given up the free software (Claris
- Works) for the 68LC040 and the ability to support a larger monitor :-(
- Admittedly, I have more slots and a bigger hard drive, but still...
- Sigh. I was happy with my purchase 'till I read this. Ah well.
