Stuart you didn't quote the whole paragraph. I did say that at the time
it was said; I was only about second person to make the request.
And by the way. Why is it a stretch of Dollars to buy a Mac, and not a
PC. Can they purchase a a decent PC for $99.95 including software.
You can get a new iMac for less than $1000.00. A Mac doesn't cost the
price of a Cray Super Computer.
Apple has got Desktop Mac's down to almost the same price of equiv PC's.
