In what looks a bizarre move just before Christmas, Apple Computer Inc slashed prices by up to 25% on its Power Macintosh and Macintosh Performa computers – but they are older ones. The machines affected include the Power Macintosh 6100, 7100 and 7200, and Performa 5215 and 640CD models. The cuts range from 25% for the MS-DOS-compatible Macintosh Performa 640CD, now $1,500, to 8% for the Power Macintosh 7200, which will now be about $1,550.The MS-DOS-compatible Power Macintosh 6100 is cut 13% to $2,000.
