Nope. Apple's Trans-Shipping Rules (long AND complex) clearly state (once
completely translated) that mail-order selling of product is STRICLY
PROHIBITED. Such mail-order IIgs's are the real thing.. But the retailer would
definitely NOT BE AUTHORIZED BY APPLE COMPUTER INC. to sell the product in a
mail order fashion.

Though things are QUICKLY changing..

Apple I think for the most part simply looks the other way with a lot of
products..
