Is this in fact Apple's policy, or just another defect here at good ole Penn? I could understand the restriction when a Mac cost $1700 and a LW was $3000+, but now a student can buy a Mac IIx w/HD for over $5000, but CAN'T buy a LaserWriter II NT for just over $3000! (Let alone the NTX is also UNDER $5000!). I do realize that some people were buying and reselling them, but isn't it possible for a student to legitimately buy a LW for his own use, especially considering you CAN buy an SC? Inquiring minds what to know (or should that be "Enquiring"?) Tim binder@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
