	Why is it that so many people here are unable to
distinguish the concepts of list price and selling price? The
unfortunate thing is that you, literally, stated things
correctly. It costs $1,500 list for the Mac Classic 2MB/40MB and
$1,500 street price for the equivalent Amiga (including color
monitor). The $1,500 classic sells for $1,171 on educational here
at Columbia.
