Notes on Keynote
In reference to Apple's "Keynote and iLife for $14.95" promotion, a reader writes in to inform us that the "education discount is only for faculty. Working in education counts for diddly-squat if you are not a teacher." After re-reading the fine print, I'm afraid he's right. This is an error on Apple's part and I hope they correct it next time around. While I suppose Apple is simply trying to protect against school employees with no connection to the educational process from taking advantage of the deal, Apple has also managed to exclude those school-based technology coordinators whose official job title is something other than "teacher" -- effectively excluding the one person at each school who can help Apple's cause the most. By the way, time is running out to take advantage of the offer. Educators, eh, teachers, have precisely eleven days left.
On a lighter note, the same reader also states that "Inspector Gadget was not a cartoon". On this point, I beg to differ. The cartoon rocked. Eat your heart out, Matthew Broderick.
