I purchased a SE relatively recently.  Inoticed the upgrade to a SE/30 was
about $1400 (academic price, UT-Austin).  Is there any word from Apple on
whether or not the upgrade price will come down now that SEs are being
discontinued?  They could cut that price in half and still make a profit, 
and cutting it AFTER they discontinue the SE wouldn't hurt SE/30 sales (I
thought maybe they kept it high so that people--like me--wouldn't just
buy an SE and an upgrade instead of an SE/30).
