Computer-Student discount?

If there were such deals available I certainly would have done everything - even bribe the students to get me whatever I want - for the big discount. AFAIK there ain't any. i_XpUser

http://www.delluniversity.com/ Just found this, but you have to have an ".edu" e-mail address to shop it. I never had an edu e-mail because Im old (used library card catalogs when I was in college...wow) Discounts are prolly bogus. How can a poor kid use the discounted software if they cant afford the cpu to run it?

Actually with Dell, there is something for just about any major educational institution, government or private businesses nationwide. For businesses it should be under their EPP deals but you will need the establishment's account #, similar goes for schools. If this isn't what you're talking about, then my bad! http://www.delluniversity.com/ Edit: Whoops! You must have posted the last response when I was typing this.

yup...just caught that too. And her school is participating...not sure if sh has e-mail account for her school yet. She probably does

This prove there is indeed a generation gap between what we oldsters know and what the kiddos know :-) I must be way too old with the tricks being played by the corporations in the educational marketplace! i_XpUser

The Computer Center on Campus would have information regarding any deals they have with manufacturers. I wouldn't buy anything until you check with them; as there may even be licensing agreements with Microsoft, etc. that would eliminate the need to order (and pay extra for) that software when purchasing a machine. Life's more painless for the brainless.
