As Rick Fleischman has already pointed out, but bears repetition:

I was merely trying to state that Apple has *educational* prices.  If you're
a school, you can buy Apple products at a discount.

So then everyone says "so tell me why I can't buy a such-and-such at my school,
huh?"  Well, you're not a school.  You're a student.  Subtle though it may 
be, there is a difference.

As to why Apple II products are not available at such-and-such a school (or
most schools, or any schools) to students or faculty at a discount, I don't
know.  If I have a chance, I might try to find out.

Everyone needs to calm down.  I'm smiling through all this, but it's not easy
sometimes.  Take a deep breath.  Type the names of ProDOS calls in rot13 mode.
Count the memory used by AppleWorks GS if bytes were 7 bits long.  Write your
own version of GS/OS in AppleSoft.  But try to relax.
