<font size=2 face="sans-serif">The two new plans, as I understand them,
are both on-site, so you could describe this change as Apple forcing everyone
to uplift the Return to Base tricare to onsite. (This is, incidentally,
what Dell do, except they bundle the warranty cost into the purchase price
and don't give our clients an implicit option to opt out of warranty)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">On the document I've seen, the prices
on your list appear to be a bit more expensive than the institution's price
for the best effort on-site, and a touch cheaper than the NBD onsite price.</font>

<br>
<br><font size=3>Is the pricing similar to current pricing on APP available
on the online EDU store? (or is it more/less?)</font>

appear to be on-site).</font>

<li><font size=3>APP with onsite NBD SLA (delivered by Unisys - includes

There's a document describing the pricing for the two options which I imagine
is available from your friendly neighbourhood Account Manager, but I think
it's about $50 more for the Unisys/NBD service. On the plus side, it is
now a global warranty (tricare was Au only), which might be useful once
every couple of years or so.</font><font size=3> <br>
