Please note carefully:  THIS IS NOT AN ANTI-MAC FLAME!

We wonder about the reasons software and hardware prices are high?  In
an article from comp.sys.mac, rock@sun.UUCP writes about MacWorld Expo:

-The attendants were dressed up like space folk from the TV series "V".
-There was a videotaped 9 minute tour by Leonard Nimoy
-a slick young card shark right out of "Guys and Dolls".
-a guy and gal doing a song and dance take-off of "Entertainment Tonight"
-they gave out top hats
-holding drawings for lobster dinner for two, Federal Expressed in from
   Legal Seafood of Boston.
-a drawing for a LazerJet printer
-a drawing from Apple.
-a laser light show on the ceiling.

Somehow, I think a little less expensive glitz might help a bit...
