How can Apple continue to list the basic Apple //c at the same
price an Amiga base unit lists for ($1295) and expect to compete?
(Yes, I realize that //c's are currently discounted, and it is 
possible to get a complete systems for less than the base price.)
Does Apple plan to stop cross-subsidizing Mac family development
by overpricing the Apple // line?  Latest report I saw shows
the //e selling for 6.6 times manufacturing cost.
