   Apple offered (and still does) comparatively good discounts for   
   education, as well as government, non-profit, and military buyers. Many   
   schools and universities started using Apple equipment in the days of   
   the Apple II and early Mac ... until the "bad days" when Apple was   
   almost bankrupt and many started switching over to Windoze PCs instead.   
      
   Now thanks to the iPad, Apple has again become popular, with many   
   schools stating the iPad is the preferred device for kids to use at   
   school.
