Message-ID: <1269@wasatch.UUCP> Date: 9 Mar 89 16:37:50 GMT References: Reply-To: t-jacobs@wasatch.utah.edu.UUCP (Tony Jacobs) Organization: University of Utah ME Dept Lines: 21 I believe that Apple will wait until the demand for the Mac II will die down, then quit making them, drop the price of the IIx down in the II's slot, introduce the "Tower" at some where close to where the IIx was. It's going to take a little while until the market discovers that the IIcx exists and that it is cheaper. Until that happens, Apple is wise to continue on with business as usual with the II. Since nobody has mentioned prices yet: 1 Meg Mac IIx $4,669 (retail) 1 Meg/40 Meg IIx $5,369 4 Meg/80 Meg IIx $7,069 " wit Aux IIx $7,552 Available today (only the rep says it may be a couple of months before volume) Consortium prices are tipically 60-65% of retail. -- Tony Jacobs * Center for Engineering Design * U of U * t-jacobs@ced.utah.edu
