RE: the Univerisites offering GS trade-ins for Mac equipment.
Are there any Apple dealers or any places that offer this besides
Universities? And to all the San Diegans in California, is there any place
around here that does it? Such as San Diego State and UCSD, or USD? Mesa?
Grossmont? USIU?
I'm going to college soon (next year) and am worried about my
computer setup. I plan to lug my GS along with me, but am worried about
compatibility with the school's systems, which probably are Macintoshes. So
unless that damned Duet card (CirTech, are you listening?) comes out, I
might have to switch over to the Mac world. Or (GASP!!) IBM.

Is this program sanctioned/approved/encouraged by Apple Computer? Or is it a local promotion? Is this Johnny Sculley's version of "sales, service and support"... "well into the 90's".... it's only 1991 :( Stephen Brown, Toronto, CANADA UUCP: lsuc!graham!pnet91!sb INET: sb@pnet91.cts.com

According to the Apple Rep for the University of Missouri - Rolla, the Apple trade-in for Macs does not exist in any form.

Perhaps not there, but it surely does fifteen miles south of here at Princeton. I know a few people who are planning to trade in their IIgs systems for Mac LCs or IIsi's. I may even do it myself. -Declan

I've examined the U of Illinois trade-in information closely; the only thing I see about availability in it is "This offer will not be repeated again this year." I know for certain that the Ohio State University is also offering the deal, and the person above says Princeton is as well. I imagine it's part of a test/pilot program of some sort. Sun Remarketing is not mentioned anywhere in the literature, which has the Apple logo and trademarks all around. If Sun Remarketing is indeed involved, does anyone know if their stock is traded? I know they're going to be rolling in dollars when this is all said and done. [Meanwhile, I'm readying my offer signs to hold as I stand outside the Levis Faculty Center next Monday...
