From: Bud Carruthers Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 12:21 PM To: Bud Carruthers Subject: [iec-coop] [This may be spam]Retraction: Promethean ActivInspire Software / New Low Price Only Good for Series 100 Board Customers After I had sent the message below out to IEC customers, Jim Bryant at Haddock Education Technologies called me to inform me that the $101.97 price for Activinspire Pro v1.4 was "Only" for customers who were purchasing or had purchased the Promethean 100 series whiteboards. I did not offer those boards in our Spring 2010 AV Co-op Catalog because they are an introductory whiteboard that does not include everything that an education customer would want in a whiteboard (my opinion). So, I am sorry to inform you all that the price for the Activinspire Pro v1.4 software did not go down in price, and remains at the original AV Catalog item# 28590 price of $307.97 I am working with Haddock to get a promotional / Microsoft Settlement price, or another discount option that would give IEC customers a better value when purchasing Promethean products at this time. I will keep you informed of any updates from Haddock or Promethean concerning this issue asap.
