Here is some additional information from comp.lang.ada: "Meridian was recently allowing students and teachers to purchase their Mac AdaVantage, which is an MPW- based system (with MPW bundled) for $200. I'd recommend calling Claudia Coleman at Meridian (800-221-2522) to get a reading from her on what the current policy is."
