Thanks a lot, buddy.  If an educational discount is to be offered, it
should be available to ALL people being educated, be they at glorious
CMU, or at a local community college.  Take a look at Apple's MAC
policy -- any school that (I think) could promise a large enough audience
got on the educational discount plan.  And, while the sites you mention
probably did produce a lot, I remember that Reed College (Oregon?) flooded
the nets with some interesting stuff called "Rascal".  Which just goes
to show that you don't discriminate and you can win big.
