Don, I think you are either a gross objectivist or else too young
to remember the "good ol' days." It's called "Fair Trade," and
laws were passed so that companies could NOT force retailers to
sell at a fixed price. THere's nothing to stop Commodore or IBM ( :=) )
from selling student discounts. BTW, sporting goods, Ski resort
lift tickets, musical instruments are a few items which come to
mind that are often sold at discount to students/academic institutions.
Why should computers be different?
