  When the original price list for the LC came out here at Stanford,
ONLY the 2/40 model was listed [at $1519].  However, just before
Christmas, they came out with a new price list which INCLUDED the LC 2
floppy model.
  There is no mention anywhere on the price list of restrictions on
who can buy it... therefore I assume an ordinary student can go in any
plonk down their $1150 or whatever, and pick one up [when they ship
in].
