That was pretty stupid. Obviously they were concerned that the new
iMac was going to hurt the sales of higher priced iMacs.
Not necessarily stupid. Apple has a direct sales education sector for
schools.
Yet you divert the remainder of your remarks to sales to individuals.

If, noting the historical problems Apple has had with supply issues,
You mean the problems you pretended didn't exist when they were brought
up in the past?
Polaski does this all the time. He brings up something to use in an
argument against someone then when it's used against Apple, it's wrong.

I'm sure
they're aware that if sales to individuals displace sales to
institutions
due to
supply problems, they have an even bigger problem.
What happened to that "direct education sector" you mentioned above?
It's pretty stupid for schools who are already low on money to pick
the
highest priced coputer. They should pick a PC. They could choose any
number
of operating systems.

The problem is you're only using the purchase price. Buy cheap and you
think
it's a wiser purchase with no regard to installation, set-up and long-term
administration costs.

As if Macs have none of those!

No one said they didn't, but Macs come, out of the box, config. for education
when you purchase from the ed store. In fact they are natively set as clients
for ARD.


Not to mention administrative software which on the PC was
designed for the corporate culture but on Macs, for education(which is what
this
is about if you haven't noticed.). Admin on Macs is easier, not requiring a
trained admin as in MSCE, or sometimes Novell, which a lot of schools
still use.

You guys spew this B.S. to sell Macs, but later when there's problems
and somebody says, "hey, I thought you said Macs are so easy no trained
Admins are necessary," you all be saying "show us who said that."

Any network needs a trained Admin, and Mac networks are no exception.

What you chose only illustrates that you can get training, it doesn't say it's
needed.

Point of fact is that in a school, one can buy and install, effortlessly, ARD
and admin computers. Oh, and there is no per-client penalty for OS X either when
it comes to servers.

Is there training for those who need it? Of course. Does everyone need it? No.

But the point is one doesn't *need* the training to administer Macs in a school
and there is online support if needed.

This with the school buying
period coming up. IOW, this could just as well be a safety issue by
Apple
for
inventory especially if the demand is that high. They can't increase
capacity
very quickly. The only way to throttle demand is usually to raise prices
which
Apple won't do here.
IOW, Apple decided the best way to handle high demand was to cancel the
product? And the fact they make less profit on this product had
nothing to do with it?

Don't try and use logic on this Mac Kook.

John

You don't have any logic in your arguments, only BIAS.

You just accused John of being Jim Polaski.
