Does anyone out there know if Apple is going to lower the price of the SE
now that they have released the SE/030 (SEx?)? The university price for a
SE/030 is roughly $3000, but the SE price here is still rougghly $2200-2300.
I kinda hoped it would drop a little, since $700-800 is a small differnce
to pay for a faster hard disk drive that has twice the capacity (40Mb), a
floppy drive that also has twice the capacity (and reads IBM and Apple II
disks), and, most importantly, a 16Mhz 68030 AND a 68882 coprocessor instead
of the itty-bitty 7-8 Mhz 68000.
