128k Macintoshes are now being advertised here in Madison, WI by a 
regular appliance store for $1488.  Can anyone beat that?  At that 
price, a macintosh with an external drive is cheaper than a 
discount-priced two-drive IBM PC (without an operating system or 
any software).  

University of Wisconsin-Madison is not a consortium school (it's in 
that second-round discount deal), but I believe our discount prices 
are near those of the consortium schools, and we have to pay almost 
that much.
