The last time I checked in the U of M bookstore I could get a MacClassic
with 1 meg Ram and an internal disk drive (high density) for $750.  A
MacClassic with 2 meg of RAM and 1 internal high density drive and a 40
meg internal hard disk was only $1150.  This included the keyboard and
the usual built in mono monitor.

I'm not sure where you go to school but they sure are taking you to the
cleaners.
