Previous to the token lowering of prices by Apple, it was figurd out by a
variety of people on the comp.sys.amiga.misc net that with hardware costs,
costs of labor and other production costs, that Apple was making approximately
a 50% profit on each machine sold. With the intro of the Classic and LC, along
with price cuts (and weren't they just slashed to the bone :) that Apple now
only makes approximately a 40% profit on their machines.
Then again, Apple needs to take its consumers for everything they have in
order to be able to pay for all those lawyers. They wouldn't want to see their
monopolistic company start to fall apart as Windows 'stole' the _look and feel_
of their operating system:)
