I don't think the original poster meant that the whole deal was $4000 (if so, it's definitely too low), but your $4000 looks high to me. I have right here in my hands an ad for a IIcx with a 40MB hard disk and 2MB of RAM for $3795 (MacWorld, March 1990, page 284). The next page has an ad for the same machine at $3869. -- David Elliott dce@smsc.sony.com | ...!{uunet,mips}!sonyusa!dce (408)944-4073 "...it becomes natural, like a third sense." -- Homer Simpson
