I'm interested (very!) in doing the upgrade from my poor tired old II to
a shiny new IIfx motherboard. The local computer stores are very happy
to quote $2995, and the campus computer store indicates that they've
been told that Apple won't offer educational discounts on the board
swap.

Is this true? I'd like to hear from either someone at Apple who knows
conclusively what the policy is, or from people at universities which
offer a discount on the board swap. I'll summarize mailed responses to
the net.

Trying to fight city hall...
