>At these prices, Macs seem a lot more competitive

Take a Mac Classic at $2000, take off 30% and you have a $1400 machine (if I
can do math).  For $1300 you can get a 20Mhz 386 with more slots, 1 meg of
RAM, a drive, monochrome monitor, and keyboard.  That's enough to bury the Mac
Classic.  If the Mac Classic is similar to the SE or Plus, the $500-$700 price
range would be best.  After all, an IBM XT clone costs around $400 and an AT
clone is about $700.
