Damn straight. I can get a Mac II for $2077.  Need to buy a keyboard
for an extra $137. But that comes with hypercard and a SCSI
controller.

Vaxstations are to expensive. But a Sun 3/50 is $3500, plus $1000 for
or so for a disk (from someone other than Sun, of course). Add $300
for a full Unix.

Given that pricing, why should someone your average user buy an A2000?
