Businessland was at my work today demoing LC with Si and Classic.
Their price to the employees of their "favored corporate customer"
was $1705 for LC 2/40.  When I checked the prices for the other Macs,
the price was consistently $100 - 150 LOWER than the prices at USC
Bookstore.  I thought that the educational prices were supposed to be
cheapest???
