Education buyers welcome?
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac

A PowerBook Zone reader reports that students, teachers and schools can now purchase
Mac hardware at brick ''n mortar Apple Stores
The PowerBook Zone quotes a reader as saying educational can now purchase Mac hardware
at reduced pricing at brick ''n mortar Apple Stores. Here''s a quote:
Haven''t seen this mentioned elsewhere, so I figured I''d send it in.
I was at the new Apple Store in Atlanta this weekend, and asked about educational
pricing for an OS X license. No go, but they did tell me they now offer in store
educational pricing on hardware. Not on software, but on all hardware: PowerBooks,
iMacs, iPods, PowerMacs, monitors, etc. Savings varies, but now it''s that much better
as you''re saving the shipping cost too.
You need to have a valid student ID, and you''ll need to sign a form or two. She made
noises like this was limited to higher ed customers only, so I don''t know about home
school and K-12.
Hope this info is helpful to someone.
Neat.
If true, this could further aid Apple''s efforts to regain educational market share by
making it more convenient for students, teachers and schools to buy and, perhaps just
as important, get service for Macs.
It is worth noting that "Ben" did not mention pricing or availability of the eMac.
It''s highly unlikely that Apple will display the new education-only desktops at Apple
Stores, but it would be rather silly if qualified buyers aren''t allowed to order and
pick up eMacs from these locations.
Can anyone confirm the availability of educational pricing for qualified buyers at
Apple Stores?
