I have heard rumors that college students can get up to 50% off....
Fact or myth? <<
Jonas,
I can't speak for your campus. I have heard of several deals where the
University or College bought a "truckload" of DECstations and sold them
with FIS (Factory Installed Software) through their College Store at very
heavy discounts (don't I wish my school had thought of this...sigh).
As for specific numbers, try suggesting such a plan to your local DEC rep.
I don't know if these were regional set-ups (a target plan set up by a
specific sales district/region) or something that was set up through the
Education Marketing group.
If memory serves me though, it was specific by educational institution.
Thanx,
AJ
