	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

	486dx system:
		486dx, 4 megs, 100 meg hd, svga monitor, Windows, mouse
			$1499

	Accelerated Windows System:
		486sx, 4 megs, 100 meg hd, svga monitor, accelerated 
		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.......
