Two more factors to consider in evaluating Dartmouth's choice of the
Macintosh:
	1. They've seen it, we haven't.  I have only a very vague idea
of the features and price of the machine, which won't be announced
until next week
	2. Price is a big factor in machines to be sold to students.
An article in today's New York Times included a statement that IBM
had offered a 32% discount to one school while Apple had offered
more than 50%.  That's a serious discount.
