In Portland, OR (a fairly large business market, but also pretty average), there
does not seem to be a long wait for any of the Macintosh models, excepting the
Plus.  So my question is: Has Apple miscalculated the excess demand that allows
them to raise their prices?  A lot of the rhetoric supporting the price increase
is based on the demand vs. supply model.
