17-inch iMac Available for Schools
To remain competitive in the financially strapped education
market, Apple is keeping an old iMac available for schools. Apple's
March 2009 eNews for Education newsletter states, "The white 17-inch
iMac continues to be offered starting at $899." That model fell out of
the mainstream iMac line in 2007. This is not the first time Apple has
offered systems only to schools; the eMac was originally produced for
the education market, and was made more generally available only
later.
