Has anyone called the toll free number Apple has set up to point people
to the nearest Mac II dealers? (800-538-9696 x300). When I tried this
morning, I gave a zip code for Westchester County, New York, and was
given the name of a dealer in Palm Springs, California. Then I tried a
zip code in a bordering county, (Fairfield County, Connecticut), and was 
given the name of a dealer in Watertown, Pennsylvania. When I explained to
the person that New York to California seemed a bit far to travel to see a Mac,
she said "I don't live in that area, so I don't know how close that is" [!].

Since Apple has used strong-arm tactics against mail order sales in the past,
I assume that there is a mistake.
