Fwd: Educational Pricing
Hi... I'm forwarding this for Stephen as he doesn't seem to be able to post to the list. Rather than send the attachments to the list I've made the graphics mentioned available at http://www.earthyself.com/apple/graphic1.tiff http://www.earthyself.com/apple/graphic2.tiff Thanks, Shay From: Stephen Atherton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 8 June 2004 7:09:16 PM GMT+10:00 To: Antony N. Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: WAMUG Mailing List wamug@wamug.org.au Subject: Re: Educational Pricing All you ever wanted to know about changes to education warranty :-) Objective To clarify changes effective from 28th June 2004 to: a) eligibility criteria for education individuals b) warranty conditions applying to education individuals and to restate those customers which remain eligible for education terms conditions including pricing warranty. Please note that written notice (as per contract conditions) has been forwarded separately to each AUC member university. Summary of Changes Effective 28th June 2004; a) Alumni will be excluded from the definition of eligible education customer b) Warranty on all education individual sales will revert to our standard 12 months warranty terms conditions. ie: While education individuals will still be able to access education pricing (note that discount was increased effective 1st May 2004), Tricare will no longer apply to individuals. Please also note that an APP product for agency customers will also be available by June 28th. Details will be available from channel partners. c) TAFE students studying certificate level (or higher) courses will be included in the definition of eligible education customer. While I acknowledge that this last point has no relevance for AUC members, I've included it for the sake of completeness. Message The following table broadly names eligible individuals and identifies the channel partners which are authorised to handle agency sales to those customers: Content-Type: image/tiff; x-unix-mode=0666; name=pastedGraphic1.tiff Content-Disposition: inline; filename=pastedGraphic1.tiff Special Note: Institution vs Individual Part Numbers - There are a number of products (most commonly software) for which a unique and attractive price is offered for institutions. These part numbers are clearly identified on our price lists. In these cases there will commonly be a separate part number applicable for individuals. Please note that institution only part numbers (and the pricing which goes with those) are not available to individuals. The next table broadly names the eligible institutions and identifies the channel partners which are authorised to handle agency sales to those customers: Content-Type: image/tiff; x-unix-mode=0666; name=pastedGraphic2.tiff Content-Disposition: inline; filename=pastedGraphic2.tiff Definition Notes 1) AUC Universities: To see a current list of AUC member universities; 1.1 Go to : http://auc.uow.edu.au/ 1.2 Click on: About the AUC 1.3 Click on AUC Members 2) Private Colleges Eligibility Criteria: For Private colleges to receive Apple education terms conditions including pricing, they must meet ALL of the following criteria: 1) The college must be a registered training organisation (RTO) and/or a Quality Endorsed Teaching Organisation (QETO) 2) The college must offer certificate level or higher courses 3) The college must have documented evidence that it is affiliated with (or associated with) a TAFE, University or Department of Education 3) Defining an Individual purchase vs Institutional purchase: An institutional purchase is any purchase (even a single unit) being paid for by an institution such as a university. An individual purchase is any purchase by an eligible education individual (such as a student or teacher) and being paid for with their own funds. Closing Remarks Written notice of these changes has already been mailed to each AUC member university. While I appreciate that education individuals will be disappointed at the diminution of the warranty offering, I do hope that these customers will appreciate that effective May 1st Apple increased the percentage discount for all education customers. Nevertheless, the expected reaction is understandable. We have not taken this decision lightly, nor have we taken it naively. What results from these actions is a very compelling price point for those education individuals satisfied with the 12 months statutory warranty. For those individuals requiring 3 years warranty (with included phone support) that option will also be available, but obviously at additional cost. We expect that these customers will include in their value assessment a comparison with the offerings of our competitors. Notwithstanding any sense of disappointment these latter customers might feel at the discontinuance of Tricare, I believe
Thanks for the PDF suggestions
Thanks to all who replied and there were many suggestions, however the one I opted for was offered by Mike Murray which was to try a small app called PrintToPDF. It worked just fine in my test run. The real test will be when I have created all my pages and embedded the graphic files. Thanks very much to all who were considerate to help. cheers, Brad -- Brad Helden Perth, Western Australia * The contents of this email transmission are confidential and may be protected by professional privilege.

* Who qualifies? In my case I'm a UWA graduate but I'm not sure if this alone qualifies me. My father is a ECU lecturer - I don't know if this helps. Apple.com.au doesn't seem particularly helpful in spelling out who qualifies. If you are a UWA Alumni (I am also a graduate from UWA, but you have to join (and pay for) the Alumni) to qualify. Alumin membership will no longer qualify for academic discounts - this is one of the key changes that and one year instead of three year warranties for non departmental purchases. -- ~ Mark Secker Computer Support Officer ph#6488 1855 (ECEL) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Western Australia - CRICOS Provider No. 00126G ~ Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible. - Miguel de Unamuno It takes an idiot to do cool things that's why it's cool - Haruhara Haruka (FLCL) http://ecel-mark.ecel.uwa.edu.au/~marksecker/index.htm (sometimes works)

Re: AirPort Express pricing and availability
well they did demonstrate an iSight last year and that had only been announced the week before at WWDC and then gave one away (admittedly not for a month or so after the conference when they could ACTUALLY get a spare one) and they are worth, what? twice That of the airport express? Wishful thinking! Maybe a nice new AUC shirt another AUC shirt? LOL like I need a conference shirt - the only cool conference shirt - ever -was the AUC Townsville pre-Nemo tropical fish Hawiian shirt, so unless they have Mambo or Love Police designing the shirt this year..

Spam and Spamcop.
Hi all, A friend of mine has informed me that her emails to me are being sent back to her with the message Blocked by Spamcop. However the messages she has sent have arrived at my inbox, but not from her normal Bigpond account. They from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have never had any dealing with Spamcop and am a little intrigued by these occurrences! Is it a problem with Telstra or just a rogue bug. My friend has a windoz machine, version XP I think. Thanks in advance Ken...

Re: miniature spirit level? sort of OT (analog accessory for digital camera)
Mark, Why not buy a couple of cheap spirit levels from your favourite hardware store. Line levels are about $2-5 (and are probably sourced from that very factory in China - love the Chinglish translation). Pull the spirit levels apart to get the tubes then mount them in some hobby acrylic on a known level surface to calibrate, then put some double sided tape on the base. Should be all done for less than $12. Alternatively, find a mate with a broken spirit level and use that for parts.

itunes headphones on Apple laptops
Hi Muggers, Does anyone know if there is a way to continue to listen to iTunes through headphones on a Powerbook or iBook with the lid closed? I'm thinking of plane rides for example, where you'd want to maximise battery time by not powering up the screen. I realise you can have the display go to sleep pretty quickly, but having it also closed is a bonus in some contexts. Just a thought..thanks! Greg

Not good either. No PCI-Express slots which means no GeForce6 or Radeon X800 No PCI-Express slots which means still only one decent graphics card per machine. Most top-end video cards come with 256MB's RAM or more these days. Still only one optical drive. What happened to 3Ghz in 12 months Shipping In July? Right just like the XServes were shipping in March. - Matt
