Those figures seem to be about 30% higher than the actual selling
prices for those machines, at least here in the Midwest.  IBM has
recently announced a trade-in policy if you want to upgrade to a
PS-2 machine.  They're allowing a little over $ 400 for the same
PC that you list as being worth nearly $ 800.
