Pam's measure of damages is the difference between the contract price and the cost of obtaining a similar computer elsewhere, which is $1,500. In addition to this, she may be entitled to incidental damages such as the cost of arranging for the purchase of the computer elsewhere. Therefore, B is the correct choice.
