- Through mid-October, I can get a Mac IIsi 5/80 for $1572 (bundled with
- Word, a dictionary, an encyclopedia, and some other stuff) through
- the university. This certainly seems like a good deal in comparison
- to standard retail prices. But I would be really annoyed with myself
- if I threw out all of this money (which I would have to borrow) only
- to find on October 19 that I could get a bigger-better-stronger-faster
- IIvi (or IIvx?) for even less money. Does anyone out there have a
- sense of how the new Macs will stack up against the IIsi in performance
- and features? Any Secret Insider Information would be much appreciated.
- Thanks.
