Education Discount Question
Got a question about the Education Discount...
Apple states that you are allowed to buy one desktop per academic school year. However, I bought a MacPro in August, before my school started classes. I want to buy an iMac right now, will I be able to use my education discount for it? Techincally, it is a new school year.

The terms of the offer don't specify the duration of an "academic school year."
I guess the issue is what constitutes an academic school year according to your university.
Just dub thee worthy and so mote it be!

I recommend you pop into your local Apple Store, and pop the question.
I was also under the impression that the {canadian} Edu Store allowed you to buy one of each kind of item, so you shouldn't have any problems.

So...what are you saying then?
Standard Year = 365 days: Example) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Academic Year = Start of first term to end of second term. (Assuming your school does semesters).
It's obvious the question can't be answered fully without contacting Apple. I was just hoping by posting this that someone has done it before. I guess the COMMON SENSE thing to do would just find out for myself. In addition, I was just curious. It's not like I wouldn't try it anyways...
Yeah, well it doesn't. So thanks for your common sense advice.

Well it is common sense. And Apple won't bother you about it anyways.
So...what are you saying then?
I am saying that in the Candaian Edu store, you are able to buy one of everythong, 1 iMac, 1 MacPro, etc...
While in the US store, you are only allowe to buy 1 desktop, 1 laptop, etc...
Anyways, I have recently ordered 2 Nanos, and 2 desktops, and have never had an issue with them.
