We seemed to have a similar problem at the University of Illinois for
a while. Apple laserwriters were being shipped to those who paid a
premium price. Our discounted machines took longer. That may be a
consequence of taking advantage of Apple's discounts, but none of
the other companies that offer academic users substantial discounts
(Sun, NEC, IBM for example) treat us differently from their full-
price customers.

You mean Sun has 6 month delivery to commercial customers? I'm surprised they're still in business... Robert -- Robert K.
