Yup! My price from UofA for that is ~$6995. $9000 isn't much of a price reduction for those who at Universities.

My price from UofA for that is ~$6995. $9000 isn't much of a >price reduction for those who at Universities. Might you both be pretty wrong? Optical drives are not cheap. My (university price for 040 Cube/16 MB memory/ 660MB hd, 2.88MB floppy was $8695 in November. Figuring on taking off $1100 for the memory difference, plus about $1700 for the HD difference, and adding in about $2000 for the OD, I guess a fair university price would be about $8000. (for the finicky, my price list has 400MB and we're talking about the older 330s.) Are you other guys talking about stations, or something? -- Jess Anderson <> Madison Academic Computing Center <> University of Wisconsin Internet: anderson@macc.wisc.edu <-best, UUCP:{}!uwvax!macc.wisc.edu!anderson NeXTmail w/attachments: anderson@yak.macc.wisc.edu Bitnet: anderson@wiscmacc Room 3130 <> 1210 West Dayton Street / Madison WI 53706 <> Phone 608/262-5888

It's that new math.... Yes, I forgot to add in the OD price. That would put it about $8100.... A bit closer. sorry, Ralph |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Ralph Zazula "Computer Addict!" | | University of Arizona --- Department of Physics | | UAZHEP::ZAZULA (DecNet/HEPNet) | | zazula@uazhe0.physics.arizona.edu (Internet) | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | "You can twist perceptions, reality won't budge." - Neil Peart | |----------------------------------------------------------------------|
