Cheap sources for educational institutions

[FIGMO%kestrel at sri-unix.UUCP]

From:  Lynn Gold <FIGMO at kestrel>

The reason that educational systems have this tendency to get better
prices on state-of-the-art equipment is that companies hope that their
student users will become hooked on their equipment, so when said students
go on to work in the field, they'll think of the computers at ol' alma
mater and want/request/demand the same thing.  This is one way that computer
manufacturers make money.
