Subject: Apple University Consortium

Someone asked for information about the Apple University Consortium
and the deals they were giving for Macs and Lisas.  The following
information is taken from "nibbles", the newsletter of the Cornell
Decentralized Computer Services.

The members of the Consortium include Boston College, Brigham Young Univ.,
Brown, C.M.U., City U. of N.Y., Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Drexel,
Harvard, Northwestern, Princeton, Reed, Rice, Stanford, U. of Chicago,
U. of Michagan, Notre Dame, U. of Penn., U. of Rochester, U. of Texas at
Austin, U. of Utah, U. of Washington, and Yale.  Quite a group.

Prices to Cornell students, faculty, and most staff are $1125 for a Mac
and $3575 for a Lisa 2/10.  No prices have been given for software and
other necessary items.

"In our opinion, the Mac will become one of the premier computing machines
for student instruction in computing.  It combines a powerful CPU and
graphics at a very low price."
