On a related note: One of the new Apple tenets seems to be a better dealer
network, cutting out the dealers who "just move boxes".  All in all, this seems
a good idea: better service, dealers who offer their customers good service,
etc.  I just hope Apple doesn't cut out _all_ the "box movers", if they're the
ones who are offering prices like those above.  Maybe some NY firms are giving
cutrate prices and great service, but if I had to have one or the
other...suffice it to say, I couldn't afford to pay list, but the prices above
are more reasonable (BTW, I don't get edu discount).

BTW, anybody know how these people sell for so little?  Are they just cutting
their own margin?
