So you're the reason why they put the limits on education purchases.
Dick move.
Are education discounts ruined now? I haven't been in a college store in a while.
The worst that happens is that they configure the education program so you can only buy one system a year (or some other such limitation) - which seems eminently reasonable for an education program.
As long as Apple was willing to sell unlimited numbers of Macintoshes in the bookstore for a discount, not sure why a clever and hard working person _wouldn't_ engage in a little arbitrage.
This is the kind of behavior you quite often see in successful startup founders, btw.
It is a program that provides financial benefit to poor students in exchange for a moral obligation. I see it as being more akin to stealing from a charity rather than a savvy or smart business opportunity. Being entrepreneurial is about providing a product or service to people, but not doing it at the cost to all others. It takes zero imagination to take advantage of a goodwill initiative, all it requires is a lack of moral compass.
I was a super-poor student from a low income family and I relied on both educational discounts and financing to get access to my own computer - so to know now that the program was screwed with by guys who were not exactly starving students really pisses me off.
So who was this guy? and, history being made? really? When I think about historic moments I think about the Berlin Wall, September 11, or the Japanese delegation boarding the USS Missouri in Tokyo Harbor to sign the surrender of Japan. I definitely don't associate it with some guy getting his first Mac
What kind of world do we live in?
Down Voting? Damn Fan Boyism.
