A model with 2MB of RAM and an internal 40MB hard disk will list for $4,199, while a model with 4MB of RAM and the same drive will list for $4,699, Apple will charge owners of the original Portable about $1,050 to add the backlighting feature to their machines if they choose to upgrade. -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- | Internet: werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu | | werner@cs.utexas.edu | | BITnet: werner@UTXVM | | UUCP: ...!uunet!cs.utexas.edu!werner | -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- Another US-military secret revealed: there was a TARGET-store in Baghdad!
