First of all, those prices quoted above are college special prices;
go into your local computer store, where your average joe buys his computer,
and they are more.  But you may as well extend those prices with
prices for apple 14" monitor and extended keyboard, $550 and $120,
respectively.  That brings the total of a 5/80 with color monitor
and extended keyboard to $1620 college price.  Add in $150 for FPU,
$10 for dust cover, and you've got $1780.  Now, tomcat goes to stanford, so
either he bought his computer at these good prices, or he
made a big mistake when he bought it.  I do agree that you would
be foolish to buy the computer system at this price, since it would
be just as easy to offer a student that amount to buy you  a brand
new IIsi system, making himself a handsome profit in the meantime.

Just my 2 cents,
