change in educational prices

then just now, i checked them again and they are a bit more "normal"... 1699 for 12" and 3149 for 17"..

likewise, ilife was listed at $39, keynote was $49, and final cut express was $149.... now they are $49, $79, and $249, respectively...

not sure what this means, but it's interesting, and a bit disappointing... though admittedly, i'll only be getting ilife and keynote out of those items...

just thought i'd share.

yeah.... i think a mistake is unlikely... then again, it was many products.... and it was educational stuff.... i mean, what school is going to be standing there on the release of the stuff and buy up....?

i think either they went back on their pricing decisions... or something else.

and it was also totally unannounced.... which works out in the long run, but i'd still figure they'd make it somewhat public knowledge....

anyhoo, a bit weird i think.
