<p>Its that time of the year again....</p>
<p>Apple has their awesome free ipod deal...and they even upgraded it from last year. If you use your educational discount and purchase an apple computer you can now get a free ipod touch ($300 value) and a free printer ($100) value. Its an awesome deal.</p>
<p>Btw, the only reason I posted this is because there were alot of threads about computers and the educational discount....i'm not getting any kickbacks from apple (unfortunately).</p>
<p>Uggggh. I want an iPod touch. I bought my Macbook too early. Oh well.</p>
<p>How long is this deal good for?</p>
<p>says until september 15</p>
<p>Oh Shraf. You do my heart good. Those were three of the things on my list. (Well...technically on iphone but I'm sure my 2003 Ericsson phone still has some mileage).</p>
<p>Do you have a link to the offer? I'm sort of weary of making the jump from PC to Mac (spiffy commercials be damned) but this sure does sweeten the deal.</p>
<p>u have to log in from here: <a href="https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/acis/sales/applepassthru.html%5B/url%5D">https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/acis/sales/applepassthru.html</a> with ur UNI and password (once you get them)</p>

<p>find the recent thread where denzera and I discuss mac vs. PC ...bottom line you can install windows on your mac (using bootcamp or parallels or vmware) and your mac will do everything a PC can do and more!</p>
<p>is this just for columbia?</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip, Shraf, even though I would've noticed Apple's pushing of this promotion...</p>
<p>Why aren't the iPod Shuffle and the iPod Classic eligible for this discount?</p>

</p>
<p>no....any student whose college has a relationship with Apple (which I think is most if not all colleges) is eligible. </p>

<p>last year you were allowed to get the rebate on a more expensive ipod if you paid the difference between it and the ipod they were offering but if you really want a cheaper(!) ipod i'm sure they'd be more than happy to give it to you....read the rebate for more details</p>
<p>If you read the fine print, they say you can get only the nano or the touch. You can get a more expensive touch but you have to pay the difference.</p>
<p>To answer the question, nobody really knows why they didn't offer the classic or the shuffle.</p>
<p>i just ordered my macbook pro and free touch :D
it sure does feel good!</p>
