I saw an add in our local University Liberal Rag (read:student newspaper) for the Mac Classic and Mac ci (or whatever it is called, might be the si). Anyway the new lower prices were this: Classic: ~1400 new with 2 megs and hard drive ~900 with trade in of mac equipment: Plus or 512E must not be cracked or have any engraving, keyboard and mouse, manuals, ORIGINAL system disk Si: ~3000 new ~2000 with trade in, I don't remember the model, but same restrictions apply also with trade in of mac printer or Ibm printer with all cables and knobs and same casing restrictions, oh and manuals too. I don't know about original boxes being needed, but it would seem like they would want them anyway. Keep in mind I am doing this from memory, the prices might not be exact, I was just trying to remember the first digits of the price. Also, all equipment was subject to approval of acceptence by the dealer, which means the above equipment could be rejected for any reason and you will have to pay full price. Note that this cuts out many of the new computer buyers who do not have mac equipment just sitting around waiting to be traded. Hence Apple's new lower prices will probably not even entice most people. (who would want to give up their computer to buy another one when they can get a whole new system for less and keep their old one also!)
