...do they justify this?

Office XP Standard Edition ... £410

Office XP Standard Edition for Students/Teachers ... £104


These aren't SR prices, because SR don't have Office XP listed yet.

I know all abuot student discounts, but that price difference extracts the urine on a grand scale!

Hm, a 'friend of a student' discount, I like that. Encourages social communication and therefore global harmony, plus it gives students a chance to earn a bit of money on the side.

YH, don't forget to add on the postage and a little extra for your services...hm...perhaps that wasn't quite said in the right way...

Well, it probably isn't illegal, but it is intended to benifit students, not people who know students. Anyway, I can't really complain, I ask my sister to buy stuff with her student card for me!!!!
But I don't set it up on a SR Forum!!!!

What's illegal about someone buying software for someone else?!

Yeah my dad found this hilarious when he two days back brought me new software for my own personal Mac.

He managed to get all brand new Freehand9, PageMaker7, Photoshop6, Director8 and Distiller for 450 quid.

Taking into consideration that Freehand9 alone without student ID costs 799 I thought we did rather well.

Do I sense something ilegal? And setting it up on a SR message board aswell, Tony won't be happy!!
Ah well, its Microsoft, they deserve it!! :o)

What is it with you and my llama?!?!??

Anyway, I'm not about this weekend, so just email me whenever with some details, and I'll take it from there.

And what makes you think I'll actually send you the cheque? ;-p

Seriously though... we've already done business once, so we have a basis for trust. :-)

Anyway, if you do run off, I'll get your address from SR then come round and take your llama hostage.

I'll see where I can get it for the lowest price and let you know by e-mail. Of course, I'll send a cheque first... I don't expect you to pay out of your own pocket.

It's really not a problem.

As long as you trust me not to run off with your £104!

You're far too good to me!

Will contact you via e-mail, if you realy don't mind. If you do, please say so... I won't be offended.

You give me the money, and I buy you a copy?

Yeah, if you want.
