Come on, Apple is dumping the Plus.  (I'v seen a local bank and even
Wallgreen Drug Stores giving them away!)  That explains the Plus' LOW
price.

It isn't fare to include the Plus' SRLP/Educational prices when
making comments about what can be expected when it's "replacement"
(the Mac Classic) comes to market.  At best I would agree with
others that a 30% discount is all anyone can count on...
