-- Now that the new Macs are here, anyone up for comparing campus prices? I'll start the ball rolling... these prices were advertised in our campus paper by the University educational outlet Computer MSRP Educational Discount Price Classic w/2M ram & 40M HD $1499 $1150 [nice!] IIsi w/2M ram, 40M HD, 13'color,keybd $4517 $2897 [only +$672 from SE/30] The price of the IIci also caught my eye: w/4M ram, 80M HD, 13"RGBcolor, xkeybd $9486 $4707 [WOW! over 50% off] Is that suggested retail price way off for the IIci? How do these prices compare to other campuses? (or should that be campi?:-) -Gordon Mohr gmohr@ocf.berkeley.edu P.S. That should be inches, not feet, for the IIsi. Maybe someday we'll get 13 foot color monitors though....

I started a thread on this subject about a week and a half ago on comp.sys.mac.misc, as it seemed to deal not with the hardware but with its marketing. If anyone wants a summary of the results over there so far, drop me a note and I'll mail it to you. In the interest of preserving sanity (i.e. avoiding schizophrenia), would anyone mind if this discussion were carried on over there? The thread is (or was) called "Consortium prices on new macs". -- Brian W. Ogilvie "Find a need and fool it!" ogil@midway.uchicago.edu --Zippy the Pinhead

Warning. Anti-NeXT agitprop follows... A) Was anyone asking about the NeXTstation prices? No. B) No, you can't get it. Motorola still isn't mass-producing the 68040, so Steve can't get his chips. Yet. C) "All I need is Improv and WriteNow... All I need is Improv and WriteNow... All I need is Improv and WriteNow..." No matter how many times you say it, it still ain't true. D) Does anyone -really- have need for home Ethernet? I know I really need to ftp to my microwave... And of course, read in smileys and <grin>s as needed. Disclaimer: Lies.

No. You may not have been asking, but there are others, believe it or not, that do read this newsgroup and were interested in the comparison. Points B, C, and D purposely avoided. Those that read the original post may understand why. John
