A for-profit company looking for ways to maximize profit! I'm shocked, shocked! ;-) > It doesn't matter how inconvenient it is to you, as long as it makes them > more money. I have never found anything inconvenient about purchasing from Apple. I either put together a web proposal (a shopping cart) on their Ed Store and create a PO based on that, which gets Apple's regular education discount, or if the quantities are large enough, I call or email our Apple rep who creates a proposal (with a bigger discount). We fax a PO and the stuff gets delivered. In either case, it's no more or less difficult than when we order from CDW-G or anyone else. Heck, CDW-G charges us shipping and we're 10 minutes away from them! -Tom | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org |
