It is Apple, not Princeton or Cornell.  Let me make it clear that education
discount is available for the LC 1-floppy and 2-floppy versions here.
HOWEVER, only university depts. are eligible to purchase.  Individual, i.e.,
students, profs., or staff, are not allowed to purchase them for personal
consumption.  All the other models, though, do not have this limitation.
What is the idea behind this? Beats me!

PS.  I do wish I can purchase the 1-floppy version for that attractive
     edu. price and buy a generic ext. hard drive cheaply.  But, I do not
     OWN a dept. here!  :-)
