My question is how can Apple in good conscience charge
$270 for an additional 256mb RAM? That's highway
robbery! I can pick up a 256mb stick of RAM for my PC
(granted, it's not a Mac) for under $60 each! (ok,
they also include a stand..big whoop). BTW, the prices
for this is entirely out of order...I can pickup a
Sony branded trinitron 17" monitor brand new for $170.
Way, way too expensive for any school I have ever seen
and I live in one of the most expensive counties in
the United States!
Look at what Dell is offering for the Education
market! And under $600 w/free shipping...
