We have a steadily growing Mac Lab, presently equipped with Mac SE's only.
That model has gone up substantially and we will now be forced to purchase
what we consider obsolete technology--the Mac Plus. I'm not even convinced
they'll stay around much longer and I for one do not want to buy a machine
that doesn't fit into our present technology base. However, we could barely
afford SE's before, now we seem to be out of luck.

I agree what Apple did isn't illegal or immoral, but it is certainly
extremely frustrating to those of us who are trying to convince
people that Macs have a place on campus. What this decision will do
is slow down our Mac growth, perhaps stop it completely for this year.
Is that what Apple wants?
