Re: Buying an iBook.. Qualification Correction

2004-01-21 Thread Paul Nicholson 
Well, then how many kids have money and credit cards. Do you think 
Apple is going to disqualify students because their parents have to pay 
for it?

Re: Buying an iBook.. Qualification Correction

2004-01-21 Thread Kochkodin 
All I know is that it worked for me and several others...Ask and ye 
shall receive...Many people aren't aware of the program and will just 
buy w/out ever thinking of asking..The idea is to get as much kit into 
as many new hands as possibleConsidering that(if my latest info is 
correct) the margin for Apple is around 25% the idea of taking $100-$200 
off in order to get someone to buy a system, printer etc is very 
effective.. There MAY be a restriction dealing w/laptops since the 
demand is so high.. (again...Supply vs Demand)  Just wanted to offer a 
friendly, helpful suggestion..Used enough space here..
Gotta run..
Regards,
Mike

Re: Buying an iBook.. Qualification Correction

2004-01-21 Thread Kochkodin 
It may well have been that they wouldn't deal since the ibooks were the 
brand new rage at the time and they wanted to keep the upper price 
level...(supply vs demand)  I had bought as a parent first then 18 
months later I did it as a board member...Maybe it depends on the sales 
agent that you get???
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

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.
