yep, for $1,095 retail.

(When Apple first announced this, the Wall Street Journal Report on the radio announced--wrongly--that Apple had cut the price of its Portable by $1,000, to a retail price of $1,095.  Unable to reconcile the two parts of this statement myself, I immediately sought out AP news on CompuServe and discovered what _really_ happened.  Ah, well, at least for 10 minutes I was awash in the pleasant feeling that the thought of a $1,095 Portable brings.)
