Even if GS were avialable at AUC pricing, it's hard to buy this argument.
isn't valid.

At CMU, a Mac+ costs $1040 (not counting the $34 for the Claris bundle)
The GS still retails for $1249, from what I understand.
Even at a typical 40% discount for AUC pricing, $750 for the CPU with no 
monitor or disk drive makes it an extremely unwise purchase.
