Mac Classic 2/40 $1745<cdn> Mac IIsi 2/40 $3765<cdn> w/ext kb Mac IIsi 5/80 $4509<cdn> w/ext kb Using a somewhat generous exchange rate of $1.20 and 13.5% FST on CMU's prices, they would work out to be: $1518, $3119, and $3783, respectively. A difference of $227, $646, and $726, Cdn, respectively. I would say our SI prices are WAY out of line! Thankfully, I won't be buying one. Charles -- Brian W.
