I wouldn't think Winthrop would be alone on this, as I assume they still sell to a big chunk of education clients around WA. Not sure if that will be a good thing PR-wise, but Apple have increased the discount more. May be market research showed edu customers preferred cheaper prices over a 3 year warranty. I'm looking forward to the keynote this year! The rumour sites have been dead quiet, so either we have just info on 10.4 or Apple have kept an excellent lid on the leaks! Seeya Rod!
