Bah! Humbug!

Although the Apple educational discounts may have put a large number of
Apples into students' hands, I'm not convinced it did Apple any good in
the larger market.  In fact, it raised considerable ire among the general
computing population.  It seemed like almost everyone (students, developers,
teachers, etc) could get a fantastic deal on the Mac while John Q. Public
could walk into his neighborhood computer store and get fantastically
screwed.

Let's just have one pricing policy for everyone.  No more privileged groups.
