I liked your point about price. Apple’s Educational Price for iLife and iWorks is cost prohibitive for our district. This price structure is new. Three years ago, the cost of iLife district-wide is 1/1000th what it is not. I will be interested in the costs for this Cloud storage for schools. Great podcast.

Thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts John! We will all have to keep our fingers crossed that the iCloud brings good things at an affordable price
