Well Brandon, maybe you've done one too many late-night designing your software. These are SUGGESTED RETAIL LIST PRICES. That's right, the price that -nobody- pays. Here's some other other examples of SRLPs as of July: CPU SRLP Educational Mac Plus $1799 $649 Mac SE HD20 $2969 $1063 Mac IIcx HD40 $5369 $3007 Mac IIci HD40 $6969 $3239 Mac IIfx HD80, 4 Meg $9869 $5817 I don't know what current "Street" prices are, but I've seen the Plus selling for as low as $899 via retailers. Brandon, from your gleeful tone, perhaps you're one of those MS-DOS advocates that tries to sneak on here and rile people up occasionally. Where's the comp.sys.mac.thought.cops when you need them? (That's right kids, lots and lots of smileys....) -=- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jim Gaynor - The Ohio State Univ. - IRCC - Facilities Mgmt. - OCES | | Email [gaynor@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu], [gaynor@agvax2.ag.ohio-state.edu] | |_ "Jim Gaynor explores The Land of VAXen!
