If you're talking educational discounts, you have to mention Commodore, for
the AMIGA line.  Multitasking, windows, color - all standard.  And the 
educational discounts are fantastic.  I believe the basic system (above 
features) in a 68000 cpu with 2 drives and mouse, 1 MB memory and some 
startup software (spreadsheet, word processor, BASIC) for ~$700.  This is 
the educational discount.

DISCLAIMER:  Check with your local dealer to verify these prices.  My numbers
and features are from memory.  I have no affiliation with Commodore;  just a 
satisfied AMIGA 500 owner.
