For those of you who are looking into buying a Mac, you may be interested in
the current promotion. Macintosh computers will be sold in bundles which
include built-in discounts (definitely less confusing than the last promotion).
Here are the very abbreviated details:
Buy a Mac Plus, External 20MB HD and save $100
Buy a Mac Plus, External 20MB, and ImageWriter II and save $175
Buy a Mac SE with two FDHD floppy drives and an IW II and save $225
Buy an SE with internal 20MB and IW II and save $250
Buy an SE/30 with internal 40MB and IW II and save $250
Buy a IIcx with internal 40MB and IW II and save $300
Buy a IIcx with internal 40MB and LaserWriter SC and save $400
How's that for a summary? From twenty pages to a paragraph. So this is the
"without all the hype" description. This promotion runs from now until
January 31.

(Which is for university students & staff.) It's worth noting that, without the discounts Michael listed, univeristy pricing is now on a par with that of most aggressive discounters. And the promotional discounts are useless for smart buyers who would rather get a third-party hard drive and printer. The days when Apple sought to encourage students with lower prices are over, it seems. (Granted, the public rebate program is just as ridiculous for individual buyers, inasmuch as the rebates are only good on Apple's uncompetitive peripherals.) Grobbins. grobbins@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
