|WHAT IF??
|
|While reading postings relating to university discounts, and the gap between
|the information age haves and have-nots I started wondering...
|
|What if Apple were to start a new program - a Mac-head-start program.
|
|What I am envisioning would be a program that would offer low end 
|Macintoshes at or below university consortum prices to primary and
|secondary school students {yes I know this means to parents of school 
|childern and this discriminates against people who do not have children in 
|school}. And what if these low end Macs were offered with a low interest 
|time payment plan. Suppose the payments were low enough that low income 
|families could afford an entry level Mac. What would happen??

What if you were to call Sun Remarketing at 800-821-3221 or 801-752-7631
and ask them about their reconditioned Mac 512k and Mac+ and Lisa/Mac XLs
(with their own HFS) for very cheap?

You want time payments?  They take Visa, MasterCard, and Optima.

Apple will never do it for you... you're gonna have to settle for used.  

But it still works like new.
