|I'll give you the same deal.

You can't legally do this Alvin. You have to sign an agreement that the
system you buy at the Educational discount is for your own use and that
you won't resell it for a period of 2 years (or maybe it was 1 year).

Even if you did this on the sly, I doubt CBM would let you buy more than
one system without getting suspicious.
