hmm, in today's Austin paper, ComputerCraft advertises a Labour Day Sale, with 
MacPluses (NEW) at $1799 ...  (they also want you to buy either a printer/$499,
ext. 800k-drive/$399, or HyperDrive FX20 SCSI/$1199 - but I would like to see
the merchant that would refuse my $1799 staring him in the face ...)

Other interesting sales prices:

MacTilt/Swivel				$8.69
Pocket Pack Diskette Holder		$3.49
MainStreet				$29
FileVision				$48
Think Tank				$24
Dow Jones Straight Talk			$15

prices good until Sep 6, quantity at hand ...

the latter prices are, obviously, close-out sales, and, who knows, the company
may have cash-flow problems, but I still think the Boston Computer Exchange
prices must be those they charge to Libya ... (-:
