- Hi All,
-
- Someone mentioned a "deal" on micros (486 for $1300 US?).
-
- I suggest you check with your campus bookstore, or Computer
- Center. One of them may have a deal with one of the
- manufacturers for special pricing. I know Ferris does (we
- used to handle some of it in the CC, but it's all been
- transferred to our bookstore).
-
- THIS IS NOT A SALES PITCH -- just a statement of fact:
-
- We were offered deals by IBM and by Gateway (some software
- and a mouse come with each deal):
-
- IBM: PS/Value Point 433DX: 486-33MHz (66MHz optional $$),
- 8MB RAM (more at $$), SVGA, 120MB HD (170 or 212 at $$,
- 3.5" floppy (5.25" $$), and 14" monitor.
- Price: US$1517, + $369 for monitor.
-
- Gateway: 4DX-33: 486-33MHz, 4MB RAM, SVGA, 250MB HD (others
- up to 500MB for $$), 3.5" and 5.25" floppies, and 14" monitor.
- Price: US$1995.
-
- Gateway: 4DX2-66: 486-66MHz, 8MB RAM, SVGA, 340MB HD
- (ditto), 3.5" and 5.25" floppies, and 15" monitor.
- Price: US$2995.
-
- Gateway also offered steps between the two with various
- combinations of options.
-
- You may have different companies offering different deals,
- but my point is: Check your local offices to see what they
- have available to staff, faculty and students.
