Pk., MD 20742 Lines: 10 A poster mentioned that average users pay retail price. Do they really? As far as Apple student prices, more than a year ago there were local stores selling SEs for about $200 more than the local student price. I don't know about the LC or Classic, but I would expect things to be about the same: the cheapest street prices about 10% more than student prices. (On my street, comparing my school's prices, anyhow :-).) -- Wayne Folta (folta@cs.umd.edu 128.8.128.8)
