We just had (right before Christmas) a big buy apple seminar from
NyNex (New York telephone who also sell computer equipment at 30%
off). They had memory upgrades from Apple list $999 for 4MEG.
Gosh what a deal, what a buy. Apple buys memory when it is
expensive and tries to recover it at 4x market value. After all,
a corporate type buying a computer will most likely say something
along the lines of 'Give me a Mac IIci with an extra 4 megs of
memory and a 85 meg drive.', without worrying about the cost.
