Wait, wasn't UPenn where all the hoo-ha started with retail stores
bitching about Apple's University Consortium?  Wasn't there supposed
to be some sort of lawsuit over the Consortium pricing policies, and
how they were taking the bread out of the mouths of poor CHILDREN (the
sacred word) of retail dealers?  If so, then the prices you quoted
don't surprise me.  But here at Ohio State, the deals remain, despite
a very big Apple dealer (a Huge Apple Dealer) not a mile away.
