Could someone in the US please post the latest prices for a DeskWriter
advertised in the press there? The latest issue of US MacWorld I can get in
Australia is June 1989, and I am almost desparate to buy one mail order 
from the States. In Australia, HP says the retail price is $2600, but with
discounting that will go down to around $2000. At the US price of $729 
mentioned above, it would work out to be less than $1500, including 20% 
import duty and freight charges, and the fact that the Oz $ is $us0.76.

Thanks in advance.
