Huge EDU discount and competing with the main EDU systems. Who do
you think they’re targeting?
Time was, Apple had a *proper* education strategy:
not just discounting,
but support materials and organization, custom channels,
the whole shebang. That was its “secret sauce” that helped keep the
Mac dominant in the education market.
So big deal about discounts. Everybody else is offering discounts,
too. Where’s the Apple value-add?
And you know they are doing nothing else now?
You missed the point. The discount is about targeting the EDU
market... not saying it is the only thing they are doing. You are
just twisting in weird ways.

Clearly, they are not doing anything. Keeping a publicity campaign

You get that there is these things called "timing" and "momentum".
This is March.
Why would you be making a big splash NOW, if you were planning for the

'Apple'. Adult Apple users will buy Neos for the kids. The kids will grow
up and buy more expensive Apples. Then they'll but the Neo XII for their kids. Been happening since the Apple II.

One needs to contemplate who the target market is, and what their
timelines are.
For sales to EDU institutions, when do you suspect (or expect) them to
be developing their budgets & purchase plans for having their IT in
place for Fall 2026? Certainly not just one month prior, right?

Michael Glasser has no idea what Apple is doing because he can't even
afford an Apple device. The last one he used was shipped to him from
Europe by an overly generous person called Marek Novotny. The Prescott Parasite thanked him by insulting him as soon as he could.

I've read similar posts in a few places but I was not sure it really happened, not that it would surprise me.
Google turns up some information but it seems Marek Novotny is a common
name like John Smith.
As for Michael Glasser and Apple devices, the U.S. taxpayer is paying for them due to Michael Glasser skimming the government system in various ways including fake disability claims.
Michale Glasser has diseases that haven't even been discovered yet.
Consider that nobody could work a full time job and still have the time to troll at all hours of the day and night.
Michael Glasser also does some minor consulting work on the side ie: off
the books, as well.
God help any unsuspecting fool who hires Michael Glasser of Prescott
Arizona for anything computer related.
