Here at Berkeley, the prices for students, faculty, and staff
(before 7% sales tax) are $2643 with floppy only (same price as
SE with 40 meg hard disk), $2945 with 40 meg hard disk, and
$3973 with 80 meg hard disk. Doesn't include keyboard. We are
allowed to buy only one (without a written request for exception)
and cannot resell for 12 months. I note that prices don't seem
to have dropped back to the pre-increase prices (when a plus, for
instance, was under $1,000). The 2MB Memory Expansion Kit sells
for $744; the university paid $425 each for mine when I got my Mac II
a little over a year ago.
