Macs.. Maybe when the value for your dollar actually goes to something a little more reasonable, I might actually get a mac. In the meantime, you’re all just like a bunch of high school students getting the latest in Abercrombie or Gucci just because of the name. I LOL everytime I think about apple fanatics

There was never a 17″ Alum iMac, there was a 17″ PPC iMac, but NEVER a Aluminum one, you guys need to re-update that update.

There is no 17inch iMac that I could find on the education store, and they never had an Aluminum 17inch.

Headline is being a little too sensational. Nothing inadvertent about it. it has been there for educational institutions to purchase ever since introducing the Aluminum iMacs. So it has been there for several years. Nothing new here. Not something recent.

This is nothing new. The system is here: http://store.apple.com/1-800-800-APPL/WebObjects/K12.woa/9864004/wa/PSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=B8A3E9B4&node=home/shop_mac/family/imac_ed&wosid=iFEhJpDuh4Ay3wYaQT711g65nYL

My guess is that Apple is doing a rush job to captialize on all this stimulus money the schools are getting. Basically the states get 3 months to spend billions in education or they lose it. Come out with a cheap affordable Mac ASAP and you got a winner.

Hm- this would likely have negative effects on Mac mini sales, one would think.

When Apple introduced the new aluminum iMacs, they continued to offer the entry level 17″ white iMac to educational institutions. If you enter the education store and “shop for your school” (as opposed to “shop for yourself”), you can find it there today for $899.

Would be cool. Acording to market-share this would be a good move for apple.
