Have you ever drooled over the price breaks students get on Macintosh
computers?  Ever wished you attended or worked at a consortium school,
so that you would be eligible for Apple's best bargains?

Well, at least here at Univ. of Penn., that's just a dream.  Here 
are the current prices on Macintosh CPUs for students/faculty/staff 
at the official campus computer store, with some prices taken from 
an ad (for Computer Era) in the March 6 New York Times for comparison.

                    Penn   New York
CPU               student   street

Mac SE              1594    1599
Mac SE/30           2477    2399
Mac IIcx            3249    2849
Mac IIci            3846    3849

All CPUs are 1 Meg, FDHD machines.  Penn includes a keyboard
in all prices, and 4-bit video with the IIcx; Computer Era 
includes a year of free service.

So much for educational price breaks.
