This isn't an official Apple viewpoint, but when I was at Notre Dame I
understood that the reason students could no longer purchase LaserWriters
after the first year or so when they were available is that too many
students were buying them for their parents and their businesses...not exactly
proper use of the consortium pricing and something which really upsets
local dealers...
