- UW-Madison (Wisconsin, USA) did something similar through today, 12/23/92.
- The prices were higher, though--about $1050 for the si, and $1450 for
- the ci (don't remember the config/prices combinations).

- Yeah--it made me sorry I'd bought my Classic II 4/80 for $1217 last February,
- which will never run color acceptably. Then I remembered that 1) I could
- barely afford it back then 2) there was no LC II, just an LC, back then
- 3) the 13" color monitor was still around $500 extra. So, those of you
- who got a "lesser" machine, remember that you've gotten good use out of it.
-
- But those of you yet to buy--there're some great deals (which will be
- superseded at some point in the next year, I'm sure)!
-
- I was told the si and ci are NOT being phased out, just that they'd
- "bought a whole lot of them and could pass the savings on" or something
- equally corny.
