Here at Washington University, we've got the Apple Trade-Up Policy occuring
here next week (April 22-26).  Basically, you bring in your old machine, in its
ORIGINAL system configuration (so if I wanted to trade in my SE/30 5/40, I
would have to take out the 4M of RAM that I added (Who wouldn't?), to make it
into its original 1/40 config.), and they will check it out.  If it passes
inspection, which requires you bring in EVERYTHING that came with it (cables,
mouse, manuals, power cord, etc., otherwise they will deduct replacement costs
for the missing items), and they will give you a voucher good for discount on
the purchase of a new Mac.  A couple of examples that I remember off hand:

		Mac Plus (1M, 1 800K disk drive):	$200
		Mac SE/30 (1M memory/40M HD):		$1400 (or so)

Go into your dealer, and get a packet describing the promotion.  BTW, the are
also taking in IBM's, Compaq's, HP printers, and a couple more non-Apple
brands.  Check with your dealer for further details.
