Our Computer Store will be charging the full $995 for the 512K Upgrade. New
512K Macs will cost about $2000 (the discount on them is MUCH less than 60%).
What are other Consortium universities planning to charge for the upgrade?

I see (from the press release) that upgrades to Consortium Macs don't include
copies of MacDraw and MacProject. Reminds me of the $110 that I had to pay
for my copy of MacWrite/MacPaint during the "free MacWrite/MacPaint" period.
