Wonder...

<p>I know that Duke's Class of '08 all got iPods...</p>

<p>Since Dartmouth is one of the most technologically-oriented campuses in the country, do you think we'll get iPods, too?</p>

<p>What an awesome orientation present...</p>

<p>Plus, Dartmouth has a deal of some kind with Apple, so it could happen!</p>

<p>Just something to think about...</p>

<p>That was a big discussion last year when students found out that Duke was giving out iPods. Unless somthing drastically happens, you will have to bring your own. D said the share ware for swapping music is really great. (But hey the Mac Mini wasn't out last year either and that could be an option this year)</p>

<p>what!?!? free ipods!!! why didn't I apply to DUke?</p>

<p>Duke's cutting that program back.</p>

<p>Wow! I would love to learn Turkish! I started at one point a couple of years ago, because I knew an awesome Turk.</p>

<p>iPods as a teaching tool does seem a little extravagant to me, though...reminiscent of the worst excesses of the French revolution, to tell the truth. Almost, leastways.</p>

<p>it would still be very cool if we were to get one though....or some other piece of super cool technology to play with</p>

<p>The Duke thing kind of backfired...it became very uncool to be seen listening to an ipod, because it identified you as a freshman, so no one even used them in public. I think that's dumb, but I guess Duke is more social stratus-y than here</p>

<p>haha, wow. that seems like a very reasonable answer. i heard somewhere that Duke was giving away bball tickets or something this year. My friend who's going to Wharton got a CD case and a mug I think.</p>

<p>hahaah...i was supposed to get a waterbottle for honors at Umich...never got it...grr.</p>

<p>kb, you STILL haven't received yours? i remember talking with you about this on the umich boards months ago...</p>

<p>if it makes you feel any better, the decal on mine disentegrated after like three uses. <em>shrugs</em></p>

<p>yeah..i'm furious..i'm going to michigan in the fall, so I'll be sitting down witht he honors LSA people..this is an outrage. I do all this work to get in to LSA honors and then they short me the little trinkets. GRR!!!!</p>

<p>That's okay, you'll come to Dimensions, take all their stuff to make up for it. Oh please come to Dartmouth!!! (hey one can still wish)</p>

<p>Oh I know..all the little free trinkets..the little refrigerator magnets...THEY'RE MINE!!!!!!</p>
