Ditto! I bought one (after selling my Mac II for the same price no less!).
Also, in the math department at UT where I am a system administrator, there
are half a dozen which are either personal machines or lab machines.

The microcenter at UT has sold dozens to students and professors even
though they charge $7200 for the base machine. A damn rip-off given
the amount of service I require of them.
