Unfortunately, not all of us are members of this consortium. Can anyone
join? And that still doesn't address the problem of anyone off the street
wanting to buy a Mac, that is someone not affiliated with the local
University (and some towns don't even have "local" universities).

I agree with Paul (the original poster): Mac prices are out of line
with other companies' products. I would really like to see a growth
of Macs, but when PCs are so much cheaper, it won't happen.
