The Keyboard prices are too high, but the others seem in line.  The price
for a Mac IIsi direct from Apple for a non-profit organization is $3050
in the 5Meg/80Meg setup.  A $75 markup isn't too bad.  I think the 13"
color monitor retails for $999, so I don;t see why you're complaining.

The retail price on the Mac IIsi is $4070 (and that is a discounted sale).
