You think you have it bad! Our University seems to have decided to ignore
Apple's recent price reductions completely, and will be happy to sell you a
Plus for $1140, or an SE for ~$2000! As Michael Niehaus said in a related
posting, it's ultimately up to the individual universities to decide on prices,
and you just have to grin and bear it.

On yet another related note,do your university stores sell Mac's bundled with
3'rd party software? I know that the CMU computer store sells Pluses bundled
with Claris' MacDraw, MacPaint, and MacWrite II. Our's does not. What about the
rest of you?
