a new Apple IIGS system - almost $1600
a Macintosh Plus        - around $1300

'nuff said.


Mark, you are missing the point.The Mac+ is a closed computer.It can't be
easily modified to suit ones' tastes.Black/white,no slots,... .It makes a nice
package for someone with well-defined needs.Totally different market.BTW you
can get 386 clones for the price of the Mac+.So what?
