Anyway...The point is to call and ask and stress that you are in the ed field...There MAY be a possible restriction on the sale of the brand new top of line...but if you don't call and ask you will never know..
BTW.. My school district is in west/central PA and we have 2 mac labs in the library using imac's...Later..

Mike

We HAVE called and asked...our school was one of the first to get an iBook lab when they first came out an many parents were interested. We tried negotiating with Apple given the excitement the iBooks caused in the community. No go. So, are you sure you didn't qualify because you were a board member? Or quite possibly you simply lucked out because they thought you were still a board member?
Also...If you ask as a parent...you will qualify...I did it as a parent for an elem student and did it last year as a school board member and my wife did it as a teacher....My middle son bought as a high school senior on his own account...If in doubt...call and ask.... Regards, Mike

You are incorrect SIR!!!....ANY Student qualifies for the ed price......Public, private, or charter.....As well ass ALL faculty/staff including secretarial, maintenance etc. administration and board of director members... A Parent of any student CAN and MAY purchase at the ed price as long as they provide the school name,addy, etc. required by Apple Ed sales dept.....I KNOW this is true because I have bought as a Parent and as a school board member and have friends that bought as staff members....The prices were about $100-250 below retail..depending on the systems. I forget the exact quantities of kit that may be purchased annually by such a person....You can get all the latest info by calling the Apple Ed Sales dept... HTH...Regards, Mike K

Hi,
Are you a student? Do you have a child who is a student? Do you know a student? Do you know someone who knows a srudent? The educational discount knocks a couple hundred or so clams off the price. I'd look into buying a new one with a student discount.
By student, of course, he means college student. The education price is not available to k12 students.
