- Gee, it sounds like the large educational market is not very educated.
- As the professional market grows so will LW's popularity in other markets.
- I say sell it to them for $995.00, and it's a steal at that price. Lets
- put education in perspective ! As it stands today I consider this market
- as much of a business as any other market. They lost special status in my
- eyes a long time ago. You can argu that giving this market a break will
- open new doors for LW, but I look at it as LW opening new doors for the
- Educational market. If their to dumb to hear the knock on the door then why
- assume they will hear ir at any price. Charge 200.00 and you could argu
- "It can't be very good or it would sell for more". LW can stand on it's
- merit. How good can the the education community be if they arn't savvy
- enough to follow the market they teach to ?
