I have to agree.  I just got the Quality catalog today.  I almost fell out of
the chair when I saw the CD ROM and HD prices.  A double speed CD ROM for DOS
or Mac $349!!!!  If you get it //gs compatible with the same CD ROM and a RF
SCSI its $538!!  A triple speed CD ROM is $199.  A RF is what?  $129?  Whew


The 170 MB HD for Mac is $299.95!  I think these are examples to taking
advantage of the market.  The bigger drives went up in price too.  So far I am
only on page 39.
