Once again I would like to thank the Apple folks who are on the network and responding to our questions...we are NOT flaming at you!!! We are complaining about your marketing department. If you know anyone there, foward this discussion to them so that they might understand our displeasure. >They DID explain that Apple signs a Contract with University Computer >Stores in the Apple University Consortium program.

BUT the people who are selling them the contracts aren't suggesting that they purchase GS's, only Macs. That's why there aren't more that 4 or 5 colleges in the country that offer GS's in the same way they offer Macs. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Michael Steele mikes@shumv1.ncsu.edu mikes@ccvr1.ncsu.edu ALINK: MikeSteele mikes@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu BITNET: netoprms@ncsuvm.bitnet
