I agree that the prices for the Macs are considerably higher than those
for the PC clones.  But not everyone pays LIST price for the Macs.  I've
got my Mac SE system (which includes dual floppies, an ImageWriter II, and a
Jasmine 20-meg hard drive) last April for about 3100 American dollars.
I don't think anyone (except big corporations, etc., maybe) would pay
$7970 for a comparable Mac SE.
