I also added in the prices at the University of Chicago and Emory University
(I won't reproduce it here; if you are interested in the details, send me
mail).  The price trend is Swarthmore > Emory > Chicago > Cornell, at
least for the big ticket items.  The discounts vary from 35% - 45% for
the Mac's themselves, to 25% - 35% for monitors, keyboards and LaserWriters,
to 20% - 30% for disks and ImageWriters.  There is definitely no uniformity
in the prices being charged.
