Apple makes a substantial profit on each 128k Mac they sell. They then start producing 512k Macs, and selling them to you for $995 *plus* the trade-in on your old Mac. So they've sold you two Macs for a total of almost $3500, and still have your old (128k) Mac to sell again! They're in effect selling the same physical computer twice to different people at $2500 a shot! Pretty neat, from Apple's standpoint! -- -Bernie Roehl (University of Waterloo) ...decvax!watmath!wateng!broehl
