Hi Antony Yes it was on the last few days (from Shay) ---quote--- Hmm... That's interesting. Apple announced a change of policy (at least with regards to purchases from UWA's Winthrop Australia) that's coming in after June 28th, namely that * 3 year warranty for staff ,students and private purchases would no longer be available (UWA departments and affiliates still get it) * UWA Alumni will no longer be eligible for educational pricing Curiouser and curiouser. So if you're eligible for a discount from UWA you should get shopping now if you want a 3 year warranty and the Alumni discount (although you need to be a paid up member of UWA Alumni, of course). Have fun, Shay ---end quote--- Most Apple resellers can offer educational pricing. Some can't do all,..quite tricky. ;o) Yes you can use an education price with Flexirent or something similar. Hope that helps. Email me off list if you want more info.
