College computer price list from 1992

Steve's death got me reminiscing about the old days of Apple Computer. Here is the price list from my university computer store in 1992. Now remember, Macs and other hardware/software was steeply discounted for educational folks back in the day.

I ordered my Mac IIsi and 12" color CRT monitor here.

By '92 the discounts were not as steep as they had been several years before, but still more than the 5-10% they run these days. But, the real rice drops for Mac's (and PC's) started a few years later.

Thousands of dollars for a glorified typewriter...

Yeah - those prices look familiar, about the same as I paid for my IIsi & 13" color display - I think they're still sitting in a box in the garage, along with a 150 MB Bernoulli drive, all ready to be plugged in again...someday...

think a Mac Pro is expensive?

They still were using Quadra 700s at a publishing company I went to work for in March of 1999.

They were dog slow and we put out 2 magazines a week with them.

Of course I would say things like "my daughter has an iMac G3/233 at home that is light years faster than this thing and all she uses it for is playing learning games."

I was at the UT when one of my classmate asked me to help him with his new "Mac". His father got him that PowerTower Pro/225. It was glorious! Left my 6100 in the dust!

I remember I bought a used Mac II with a full page monochrome Pivot monitor and video card. I got it for about $2k used, but I think it listed for over $6500 back in 1992 or so.
