I was E-mailed the following info from "Mathew" in the UK.

           System 1                    System 2
           --------                    --------
           Mega 2                      Mac SE, 2MB
           SM124                       20MB hard disk
           20MB Hard disk              Er...
           DTP software                that's it.
           Atari laser
           -----------                 ------------
           2000 pounds sterling        1640 pounds sterling

Please note that the quoted price for System 1 is street price, whereas the
quoted price for System 2 is educational discount price (45% off!). Now, if
we add the laser printer and some cheap DTP software to System 2...

Now, why do you think there are thousands of STs in Europe and virtually
no Macs?

Feel free to post the above (I can't post to the net).
