   (let's see i $%^$*&^%^&$%^&$%^\@!#\@ cbnewsh will screw up this time,
    my former 3 postings got all messed up when I lost connection!!)

   A friend of mine is looking to buy a Macintosh LC (low-Cost??)
   Since I know Macs well enough to tell them apart from doorstops
   and paperweights but not much more, I decided to ask the netters:

   The prices my friend got(through a campus discount plan) is for:
   Mac Lc with:
   512 K ram
   40 Meg HD
   Hi-resolution card and Hi-Res RGB Monitor
   The "new" ink-jet printer
   The price he got is $2,600.00 + tax for the above.

   Speed is not of a great deal of importance to him, but Hi Resolution
   and color, as well as the Hard disk, are VERY important.
   He does not mind buying a used Mac, or some other model and then
   do the combination himself, as long as:
   + the end result is compatible with Mac LC ( he needs to be able to
     share software with others that take up the "campus plan")
   + The end result has another serial port to hook up a modem.
     (yes, I do not even know whether Mac printers use a serial or a parallel
      port............)


	My friend would greatly appreciate any help and ideas regarding:

	+ vendors that give a better price for thbe above combo.
	+ any other brands that are compatible with the above (if any)
	+ any other Mac combination that is cheaper and compatible (equivalent)
	+ anybody willing to sell their equivalent used system.
	+ general philosophical discussions about the usefullness of
             such a combination
