I actually heard from an Apple person quite a while ago that UMC (Unit
Manufacturing Cost) of a Plus was in fact lower than that of a Mac 512.
I expect the UMC for the SE is about the same, since many of the components for
it come from a generic peripheral pool (3.5" disks, ADB keyboards) and the
machine has fewer descreet components inside.
