Here at Penn, the previously mentioned Computer CONnection has a policy of
not selling LaserWriter NT(X)s to students. Is this in fact Apple's policy,
or just another defect here at good ole Penn? I could understand the 
restriction when a Mac cost $1700 and a LW was $3000+, but now a student can
buy a Mac IIx w/HD for over $5000, but CAN'T buy a LaserWriter II NT for 
just over $3000! (Let alone the NTX is also UNDER $5000!). I do realize that
some people were buying and reselling them, but isn't it possible for a
student to legitimately buy a LW for his own use, especially considering you
CAN buy an SC?
	Inquiring minds what to know (or should that be "Enquiring"?)
