- Here's a very late followup to this posting on Mac prices this fall at
- CU-Boulder. I'm a CU graduate myself, so I thought I'd post the prices
- here at Auburn for comparison. Auburn University doesn't own the store
- that sells the Macs, but has a contract with the local Apple dealer in
- Auburn instead.
-
- I've inserted the prices from the Apple Computer Higher Education Purchase
- Program Individual Purchase Option (IPO) Product List, effective from
- August 17, 1992 through October 15, 1992.

- I wonder how much of a markup the Buffalo Chip had on the SE that I bought
- from them four years ago. It cost me $2098.00 during their "InCider" Sale. :-(
