It's what I bought to upgrade our Macs. adjusts halo Peter [link\|http://www.no2id.net/\|Don't Let The Terrorists Win] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home] Use P2P for legitimate purposes!
Post #248,518 by admin 3/20/06 8:24:16 AM Reply	It may say that on the box... ... but it says "user" and "users" on the Apple web site. At any rate, I bought the single. Thanks everyone. Incidentally, Apple's homeschooling prices are a good bit less than the regular ones: $69 vs. $129. The only step to take is to go through the education store and click a button stating that you provide a complete school curriculum and meet the standards set by your Board of Education (which of course we do). No letters to be sent; nothing to sign, etc. It's all very lax, and I wonder how often they get taken advantage of. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

It's like the early days of Microsoft: Make it very easy for people to get it into schools, and nearly as easy for them to try it at home.
