Anyone know how the Power of Ten is doing.? AppleRecon said. ... the "Recon Report" source related that statements by Apple were about as close to stating that Apple had reached its K-12 and Higher Educational Market targets for Q1 ("Power of Ten" sales no doubt) without actually stating such a thing. I think it would be too early to give any credit to the Power of Ten campaign for any improvement in sales. In fact I think the Power of Ten campaign may have been a big flop. First of all the program was extended to end of Feb from it's orginal Dec 20 end date. Other than a press release that said 5000 schools signed up as beneficiaries for the program we've got no words on how many people actually bought Macs under the program in order to contributed to schools. At last check all the school in my area (including UCLA) has ZERO dollar credits towards the Power of Ten program. Can that be right? Maybe the database just didn't get updated... who knows. education.apple.com My guess is that the program was extended because very few people took advantage of it. Eric
