In the May '91 Macworld, I looked at the Apple ad for printers
on pages 32-33.  Referring to the StyleWriter, the ad says

"Yet it costs just $599*"

...and in the middle of the fine print at the bottom of the page:

"* Prices shown are suggested retail.  But who pays retail anymore?
And speaking of paying, your dealer can even help you arrange financing."


I guess the folks in the advertising department are getting bored...
