Could somebody at DEC tell me if college students can get discounts on DEC equipment? I have heard rumors that college students can get up to 50% off.... Fact or myth? ==== Jonas

Fact or myth? << Jonas, I can't speak for your campus. I have heard of several deals where the University or College bought a "truckload" of DECstations and sold them with FIS (Factory Installed Software) through their College Store at very heavy discounts (don't I wish my school had thought of this...sigh). As for specific numbers, try suggesting such a plan to your local DEC rep. I don't know if these were regional set-ups (a target plan set up by a specific sales district/region) or something that was set up through the Education Marketing group. If memory serves me though, it was specific by educational institution.
