- Robert,
-
- If you were a student here, you could buy said merchandise for the
- following. Bear in mind that these figures closely approximate what a
- typical medium-sized Mac store might buy at wholesale.
-
- Mac IIsi 5/80 1533.00
- Extended keyboard II 160.30
- 14" Trinitron display 468.00
-
- I recently purchased the SupraFaxModem 14.4, and have had very good luck
- with it. The fax software is about a stupidly designed as Apple's own
- package (sigh), but the modem works sweet. Mac's Place has them for
- 349.00. Give your business to companies that only deal in Mac products:
- it'll make the world a better place.
-
- And here's a little <kiss> on your scars with the hope that they feel better.
