Apple CANADIAN online store for education coming soon
I was talking to the staffs at UBC's bookstore yesterday.
Many of them were complaing how bad the managment is in that department. And then they told me they are worried about losing more business after Apple Canada launches their own online store for education.....then I asked them when....they told me it will probably come before fall.....
Don't know if this is old news or not....anyway....

Links for the ed stores are bottom left on the page, for HED student, HED staff, and K-12 faculty/staff.
I know, because I've been thinking of trying to sneak in an Edu purchase.
So could what the UBC guy was talking about already be active?

Oops...looks like it's already on.
But the 12" PB on that online store is $200CDN MORE than what in the UBC Bookstore
It's the same thing here at McGill. That's a pretty good reason to keep using the campus stores if you have the choice!
12" iBook @ 900MHz:
Online Canada Apple Store: $1999.00
Online Canada Apple Education Store: $1899.00
My Campus Store: $1775.00
So make sure to look around for the best deal!
might be partly due to exchange rate shift, but the shops i talked to hinted it was also an Apple move
Edu price points aren't discounted anything like they used to be.
now perhaps 5-10%. i remember back in the 80's when it was 50%.
and yeah, the online access to edu pricing went 'live' about a year ago
