Best [2:00 PM] Mac Night Owl - Appleis Educational Market: Can They Stem the Erosion?
Even when times were lean for Apple, they always had the education market to call their own. That has been becoming more untrue over the last couple of years, and is definitely something Apple wants to address. This article looks at the possibility of that happening. Our favorite quote from this piece:Was there any deep, dark, secret reason why the Mac was no longer acceptable? Apparently parents had complained that their kids were not being exposed to the same computers most of the rest of the world used, without considering the virtues the Mac offered, and the fact that a portion of their kids would be going into professions where Macs still rule.
Expanding into the business market would help too. Reviewer - Kyle DiAddario
