A Plus is not a bad buy, even before the "heinous price increase."  In
fact, I just bought one.  If you don't have a pressing need for the
card slot, and can live with a plug-in second floppy drive and hard
disk, I see no real advantage in getting the SE over getting the Plus.
I got the Plus and a 30 Meg hard disk for $10.00 more than the
cheapest SE I could get.

Apple might even "support" the Plus for as long as they "support" the
SE.  I sure hope so.
