- Our campus has the external listed at $491 plus cables. They have no idea
- when they'll be able to deliver.
-
- when you note that our price list shows only about a $200 difference between a
- vx with and without the drive, it seems clear that Apple would like to direct
- the short supply to internal uses.
-
- I want an external, but I'll wait for the supply to improve. Seems like the
- price could easily drop $150 or so.
