Talk about a savvy deal. And a year before the Mac was released to the public!
- sircastor 2y agoEven outside of this deal, the educational discount on Macs in this era was insane. Somewhere in the range of 40-50% off.

- jsrcout 2y agoSame here. Made the money working for my home builder dad in the summer. I still have it - need to check if it still runs.
