Do you know that here in Europe to get the same configuration it will
cost you even with the 35% discount Apple gives to developper nearly
twice that price !!

I bought the same configuration in August 87 and paid for it something
around 300000 bfrs. (~8500 $ at the present change rate, aound 7500 $ at
that time) !

Anyone in US who would buy a 80 meg HD for me ?
