Not with the educational discount. That's what they say, y'know.
Educational discount is only for the person to use who is eligible for
the discount.
And the person who is eligible for the discount used it -- she made a
nice present of it.
I don't think Apple's prohibition would stand up in court.
What a miserable corporate mentality -- make things proprietary so they
can charge more, then offer a discount where they still make money and
then be so parsimonious as to try to dictate how the equipment is used
under such a purchase.
Alright then, she bought the system to have at home so she wouldn't have
to lug her computer back and forth from school.
How's that?
She even password-protected it so nobody else could possibly use it
except her (that should satisfy Apple) and she couldn't help it if her
father, being the master cryptologist that he is, figured out her
password and so is blissfully using the computer, all the while she is
unaware of such subterfuge of the very generous offer Apple, Inc. made
to the lowly students of the world.
That ought to satisfy Apple, huh? :-)
