 So what????  I wouldn't make one of my worst enemy's use a DOS/ OS/2 machine.
Saying the IBM PS/2 model 70 is less than a Mac II is like saying a Diahatsu
cost less than a BMW.  Have you included the cost of 256 color card in that
price, and the networking card since the mac has Appletalk built in, how about
the additional FPU, ect...
