Computer shopping may be the last
thing on your mind as the semester comes
to a close, but Penn State Harrisburg
students, faculty and staff now have access
to IBM computers and accessories, many
at nearly half off the list price.
The University has established a
Microcomputer Order Center for several
campuses. Penn State Harrisburg's center
is located in room W 303 of the Olmsted
Building.
"College graduates don’t know they can
purchase IBM products at up to 50 percent
off because of academic cuts," said Doug
McMillan, a recent graduate of Penn State
Harrisburg and an IBM collegiate
representative.
"Our reps provide support before and
after the sale, and are here to answer
questions or demonstrate the computers,"
McMillan said.
According to McMillan, the program is
designed with a loan system to help
students finance the cost of owning a
computer. The "PS/2 Loan for Learning"
program allows qualified students to
borrow from $l5OO to $BOOO when
purchasing an IBM PS/2 through the
Microcomputer Order Center.
McMillan said before the
Microcomputer Order Center was set up
on campus, students had to go through the
hassle of speaking with representatives by
phone at University Park, and hope that
their orders were not screwed up.
Prospective buyers, or those just
curious about the center can go to the
vendor display room, W 303. The room is
open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, or
appointments are available with one of the
college representatives.
"It's a shame if students don't realize all
that is available to them," McMillan said.
"If they weren't students, the deal wouldn't
apply. It's very advantageous, regardless of
[their] major to have a computer."
