Amazon.Com Taking Care of America's Hinterlands

1999–2004August 19, 2002Macs Only!Education
From Dana Baggett, "Here in the Hinterlands (rural Maine) - without a CompUSA or any other mass market retailer of Apple products - Amazon for the second week running has an insert in our Sunday newspaper bringing Apple products competitively priced to the attention of readers. The offer includes free shipping, a free Airport card and a D-Link Wireless cable/DSL router available for $49. No other retailer here is promoting Apple during this important back to school season."
