Uh, just a small. I believe the list-price on the SLM804 is $1995, though
I don't doubt the "street price" could approach your figure.

he he

Anyway, I paid $995 for my SLM804 when it was introduced in early 1988.
My dealer got a large order of them in and couldn't sell them at the
list price of $1995, so he had a close out at $995. MOst other dealers
were selling SLM804s for about $1495 in 1988.

I don't know what the "street price" of a SLM804 is now, but my dealer
is selling them (or trying to anyway) bundled with the base package
of UltraScript for $1495. He will deal down to around $1300 I am told.


and I have seen ads in newspapers here in Phoenix for the HP LJ IIP
for $995. unbelievable!
