A while ago someone posted to the net mentioning that students were not allowed
to buy LaserWriters at their University Consortium school. Well, if you thought
that was bad, listen to this:

FLAME ON

At Harvard, you can no longer buy an SE or a Plus alone. You have to buy it in
a PACKAGE.  And all packages include Microsoft Word 3.01.  If you already have
MS Word (or prefer to use a different WP), well, that's just too bad.  Either
you buy a package, or you don't get a computer. And when you do buy a computer,
you can't get it until October 9th.

And, you have to buy the standard keyboard, rather than the extended one, 
because all of the packages have the standard keyboard.

I wonder what Apple thinks of this?  Naturally, Microsoft will love it...

FLAME OFF
