Here is a blurb from the post: >> >> Mac SE 30/80 >> Manufacturer's suggested retail price $3,869 (new price) >> CMU price $2,320 (was $2,745) I stand corrected. Forgot to mention that the price for the SE/30 configured at 4/80 went down. But the SE/30 1/40 (which is what most of us bargain hunters are looking at) is still the same - although the OSU Computer Store will upgrade it to 2 mb RAM for free -if- you ask them when you purchase your SE/30 1/40 (They've got a -ton- of 256k SIMMs from previous upgrades that they need to use). -- Jim Gaynor - Systems Analyst 1 + "This is Serious.
