That's right, unless you compare a Macintosh with a PC from a brand-name
 company. Ideally, that would be IBM. But to be liberal, let's pick Dell. I
 compared the IIci, with a comparably equipped 386 w/ SCSI, color, 80MB drive,
 math chip, etc., and the prices were pretty similar as I recall; this was a
 few months ago. 

 You can't compare a Macintosh from Apple with a PC from Joe's PC Klones and
 Kut-Rate Stuff.
