This isn't directly related to the pricing, but our university (Michigan
Tech) offers Macs at educational discounts that seem about the same as
mail order, but they also offer two-year, interest free loans to
students and faculty.  For me (with an extremely limited, grad student
budget) this was a deciding factor.  (I bought an SE/30 4/80 with
extended keyboard for ~2900.)

(I just hit the "Followup" key, so I can't change the subject header here,
but it doesn't really seem like the Amiga vs. Mac CI header is very
descriptive.)
