How do I order OSX 10.2 through Apple Edu. Store?

I have a friend who works for the distrct office of our local school system.



She gave me permission to order OSX 10.2 through the Apple Edu. Store.



After entering the zip code of the distrct office (the distrct office came up on a list) it asked for a proposal from the agent who purchases Apple products for the district.



I asked my friend if she knows who this is and she told me she's not aware of anyone.



I've read where friends and family of teachers and school employees have ordered from the Apple Edu. Store with no problems.



Am I missing something?

    You're really not supposed to do what you're doing.



    But you would simply go to store.apple.com, and then click 'Education' at the top, and then "Shop for yourself." It sounds like you're trying to make an institutional purchase, which you definitely can't do.



    But if you're not really faculty or student, and Apple checks up on you, you could be in trouble. At least, you should have your friend order it, and then sell it to you.



    Why don't you just try going to a college bookstore? They usually don't "card" for student IDs.

    Well first off you can't do what you are doing legally. But Apple sucks and fscks everyone over so I don't care.



    When I bought my (now unsupported "supported") iMac I had to fax Apple a photo of my student ID. That's all I had to do. Seems to me you got into the admin purchase route and not the student purchase route.

    I agree. When it comes out, just go to a college bookstore and buy it. It will actually be the same price and you don't have to wait for shipping. If they do card you, wait outside and give some money to a student and say what you want, and let them buy it for you.

    Don't worry too much about those wankers at Apple checking on you, get anyone with a student I.D. to buy it for you and laugh your ass off at Apple 'cos you've just saved a shed load of $$$

    I had to do even less than a photo ID. I used my work email and used my campus office as the shipping address. Easy.

    In order to qualify for the educational discount you really don't have to do much so I can't imagine wanting to do it illegally, but why not go the legit route and check out Amazons $50 rebate on OS X. It makes the price $79.00 only $10 more and open to everyone. It is time sensative it expires in September sometime but if your looking to buy today that shouldn't be an issue.
