	Ok, if they do that, what should the price be?  I figure $1300.
	Here's how I arrived at that number:

		Manuals		$650
		Tape		$650
				----
			       $1300

	All seriousness aside, I now have a Mac II with 80 Mb disk,
	etc., which was purchased with A/UX in mind.  Well, Apple,
	thanks for the memories!  May this "marketing coup" join the
	Lisa and the Apple III in the annals of the history of
	computer marketing ludicrosity!
