Ok, if they do that, what should the price be? I figure $1300.
Here's how I arrived at that number:
Manuals $650
Tape $650
----
$1300
All seriousness aside, I now have a Mac II with 80 Mb disk,
etc., which was purchased with A/UX in mind. Well, Apple,
thanks for the memories! May this "marketing coup" join the
Lisa and the Apple III in the annals of the history of
computer marketing ludicrosity!
