Well, yeah, we'll have to see how that turns out :-)

The 60,000 figure for the IPC is about right, I think.  They had an SS5
(again, lightly loaded) for 118,000.  I don't remember about the SS2.
They also have an SS20 at 398,000 with 32 meg and a 420 hard drive,
which is only 100,000 less than Plat'home charges for an Ultra5 with 64
meg and a 2 or gig disk.  Yet somehow, they manage to stay in business.

>John Little, thank you for your very existence ;)

Speaking of which, they wanted something like 45,000 for a 1+ very much
like the one I got in the TLUG raffle.  Thank you indeed, John Little
:-)
