I don't know about elsewhere (I believe it's nationwide), but Harvard sells Macintoshes to students for hefty discounts. Many students who buy computers here only use them for word processing, which they could do just as well on a II instead of a Mac. But because of Apple's marketing, they end up with the Mac anyway. If Apple offered the IIgs at educational discounts and advertised it more prominently, I'll bet the IIgs would sell pretty well. Especially with the color graphics and games like Dungeon Master.
