These student reps are really multiplying around here. Anyway, in my Account Executive's opinion, I should not post or quote prices from any of the university's pricing sheets. However, it is possible that other UAE (University Account Executives -- sales reps if that is too much to remember) may have a different interpretation. Sorry that I said that the University prices could not be distributed. In my case, -I- cannot post them because, well, my boss says so. And I always listen to my boss... So if someone's UAE approves the posting, go ahead and post. But I won't; I value my job... -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
