Ohh, but that's what this thread was about, no ? A $500 (likely) community college course that requires $1500 in exectly defined version os and office software purchases from one precisely specified company would be mostly a purchase drive and less of a college course imnsho (strictly speaking it would be 25% college course and 75% purchase drive). So it walks and it quacks. Cynically speaking, the cheapest college course that 'requires' $1500 in purchases, and that can be called a college course without lying (too blatantly) should cost at least $1500 (the break even limit, by cost).
