the local university store lists:
MAC 128k $100
MAC 512k $115
MAC Pus $122
MAC SE $122
MAC SE HD 20 $285 (what? that 20meg HD is *THAT* bad?!?)
MAC SE HD40/2 $299 (what a bargain ... :-(
MAC SE/30 $270 (what is that? what's wrong with the 30 vs SE-plain?)
MAC SE/30 HD40 $295 (ah, I understand, a ripoff! make those guys without
a hard disk pay for the those that have a HD...)
MAC SE/30 HD80 $390 (and what is that? the Quantum80 is more reliable
and warranty should be cheaper!!)
MAC II $199 (why the II should be more expensive than a 128
beats me...; a decent powersupply, no screen,
no keyboard ..., even a fan to keep things from
burning up ...)
MAC II HD 40 $379 (that 40 must be a real dog!! or what gives?!)
MAC II HD 40/4 $379 I'm trying to make sense of that ....
MAC IIcx $279 hmmmm....
MAC IIx $469 RIPOFF, RIPOFF !!!
I am utterly digusted with these prices, esepcially the IIx !!!
if it is true that buying with the American Express Card gives
you an automatic 1-year warranty, one should either do that or
get the American Express card and go on a round-the-world trip
*INSTEAD* of buying a Macingtosh computer ....
somebody had to say it ....
