- Well, I just thought I would post some more prices. (I have the
- flyer in my hands now instead of going from memory)
-
- These are from Cincinnati's Micro Center Store. (I won't post a
- number, I don't want this to be to big of a advertisement :-) Everything
- doesn't include a monitor, unless specified)
-
- Macintosh prices:
-
- Mac LC II 4/80 $1079 (with keyboard)
- Mac IIsi 5/80 $1449 (without Keyboard)
-
- Intel Based: (MicroCenter didn't even advertise any 386 based systems
- (except notebook computers))
-
- Entry Level System:
- 486sx, 1 meg, 40 meg hd, gray-scale monitor, dos 5 (oohh!)
- $799
-
- Complete System:
- 486sx, 2megs, 100 meg hd, vga monitor, Windows (ooohh!)
- $999
-

- graphics card
- $1399
- (for $200 more you can get this with a 486dx2 at 50Mhz)
-
-
- I don't see with these prices that any company can ever successfully
- release a "non-standard" computer and have it succeed. Unless... it was
- backed by solid support and offered better value for the money.
-
- (I just wanted to post solid numbers from something other than mail-order
- places)
-
- Later.......
