If you think *thats* bad, try the mathematics of buying a Macintosh XL
for $3999, then trading it for a Mac+ for $1499, not counting the
$600 512K memory board which doesn't have any trade-in value at all.
Not that we have that much choice, the XL is too slow and has no sound
generation. The question for the day is "How much did you pay for your Mac+??"
(No flames about the stupidity of buying an XL in the first place, please).
  Seriously, anyone want a 512K memory board for a Lisa? Inquiries by mail
