I have been pushing the Apple Student Rep. here for about 6 months
for student-priced development tools.  I know that some schools
site licence devlopment tools....for instance Carnegie Mellon.
I was told by a friend of mine going there that MacApp software ONLY
is ~$30....manuals can be purchased separately.  The same discount
apparently applied to MPW products as well.

How about a university purchase program for APDA tools?
Its about time Apple recognised the genius of NeXT's bundling of devlopment
tools....

just my $.02.
