From: Kevin.Dowling@CMU-RI-ROVER

I've seen a Pittsburgh area store that has the Macintosh for as 
low as $1590. Not as low as the Consortium prices, but certainly one
of the lowest prices for a 128K mac.

In the latest MacWorld on page 155 is one of the silliest Mac ads I've 
seen yet. They'll make a custom start-up screen (your choice of 4!)
by adding your name (15 chars or less) to one of the horrible pictures
of seascapes and bogart...

Is this legal? Undoubtedly they're using StartupScreen (by Atkinson)...
