Re:  Legislation to stop Apple from discounting computers to students.

In answer to most of your questions, what Apple fears most is that it
will have to lower its prices to everyone, in order to reach the
student population.  Well, although I'm a student, I've already bought
an Apple Computer on students discounts, and since Apple will never
ever sell me another discounted computer, I say,

		"Let the legislation pass!"

Chew on that for a while.
