I see Canadian university students, or atleast those here at the 
U of Manitoba are getting the shaft.

Mac Classic 2/40          $1745<cdn>

Mac IIsi 2/40             $3765<cdn>   w/ext kb
Mac IIsi 5/80             $4509<cdn>   w/ext kb

Using a somewhat generous exchange rate of $1.20 and 13.5% FST on CMU's
prices, they would work out to be: $1518, $3119, and $3783, respectively.
A difference of $227, $646, and $726, Cdn, respectively.  I would say
our SI prices are WAY out of line!  Thankfully, I won't be buying one.
