I would appreciate any comments from anyone interested or who knows the answers
to what I have to say.

I've noticed that Apple's list price for the IIfx upgrade is about $3000, yet
the university price is only $2500.  Percentage-wise, it doesn't compare with
other upgrades offered such as the SE/30.  Also, the percentage discount of a
new IIfx is about 10% less than the discounts for the other machines.  Is
this the pricing policy of my school or is it Apple's pricing policy to keep
the IIfx at a higher price.  And, why???  Right now, it's this price difference
which is preventing me from upgrading to a IIfx.  Please e-mail me, or post
your response if you feel this topic is worth discussion over the network.
