The difference in price, assuming both schools are using the same Apple
price list (there are at least two that I know of), can be explained by
the "dealer markup".  Our bookstore charges some % over one of the lists.
Other schools may charge more or less.

Also, my local Apple rep has explained that the recent IIci cut was reflected
about 2 to 3 months ago.  I seem to remember a drop, but I haven't gone back
through the lists to see exactly when it occured.
