I've examined the U of Illinois trade-in information closely; the only thing I see about availability in it is "This offer will not be repeated again this year." I know for certain that the Ohio State University is also offering the deal, and the person above says Princeton is as well. I imagine it's part of a test/pilot program of some sort. Sun Remarketing is not mentioned anywhere in the literature, which has the Apple logo and trademarks all around. If Sun Remarketing is indeed involved, does anyone know if their stock is traded? I know they're going to be rolling in dollars when this is all said and done. [Meanwhile, I'm readying my offer signs to hold as I stand outside the Levis Faculty Center next Monday...
