128k Macintoshes are now being advertised here in Madison, WI by a regular appliance store for $1488. Can anyone beat that? At that price, a macintosh with an external drive is cheaper than a discount-priced two-drive IBM PC (without an operating system or any software). University of Wisconsin-Madison is not a consortium school (it's in that second-round discount deal), but I believe our discount prices are near those of the consortium schools, and we have to pay almost that much.
