I work for the Personal Computing Center of Dartmouth. We are the "campus store." We do mark up the prices a slight bit (about 10%), but the profit from that goes right back into the budget for support, as well as other things that help the end user. Also, because we have special programs like freshman distribution (where all freshman pick up the computers (read) Macintoshes they purchase from us), we can pass on great savings to the students and faculty. The bottom line is that even though we charge about cost + 10, the customers get better deals than is possible in the "real" world, plus support that one usually does not find in retail business. -Jamie Osborne xerox@mac.dartmouth.edu
