[Sendok]

in 17 days OS X gets its fourth major release. And IMO it looks kickass.

www.apple.com for more

[Eidorian]

It's on the frickin' main page. Kinda hard not to notice when it's your homepage.

[Relient J]

I'm excited about it. Unfortunately, due to my current finance situation, I may not be able to purchase it for a while.

[Sendok]

Im in somwehat the same boat, although im not sure if im gonna go for the single lisence or family lisense. *i might have 2 or 3 more macs by the end of the year*

Education discount and or preinstalled.

I may wind up using the education discount, but since I'm not planning to be in grad school until the fall, I won't be eligible until then.

[Sendok]

^i thought as long as you were enrolled you were good

[Relient J]

^ I've been accepted as a non-degree seeking graduate student, but I haven't enrolled yet. I'm still waiting to find out if I get accepted to the program I want. Thanks for the info though! Once I'm enrolled I'll check on that.

[Eidorian]

Well they normally don't check for identification on education purchases made online. Just find your school and click through it.

[Sendok]

^yeah i got my Powerbook a few days after i got accepted.

[Eidorian]

^yeah i got my Powerbook a few days after i got accepted.I'm torn between a Mac Mini or a iMac G5. I'm waiting for a revision first.

[Relient J]

Thanks Ryan and Eidorian! You guys encouraged me to check the elligibility requirements for the education discount. I had been assuming that you needed to be enrolled, but it clearly says being accepted is ok. Sadly it still may not jive with my current financial situation, but it does make it a lot more appealing. Thanks, guys!

Thanks, guys!Let's just hope they don't pick you to be the one to send in proof of enrollment.

[Relient J]

^ According to their Web site, you don't have to be enrolled, only accepted. I would gladly show them my letter of acceptance as a non-degree seeking student, but I think my dog literally ate it.

[Sendok]

^bwahahaha that is priceless. Hope it will jive w/your budget eventually.

[Relient J]

My dog loves to chew on things. And even though we have toys specifically for him to chew on, he still likes eating things I don't want him to eat.

[=NukeBlaze=]

My dog ate my legand of zelda: Wind waker box. The worst was That I stored the bonus disc and GB player disc in it. Lucklly, I had the discs elsewhere during K-9 consumtion time.

You can probably get a copy from your's university's records office.

I'm torn between a Mac Mini or a iMac G5

I would have to say, G5 based machine hands down/.

[Eidorian]

I would have to say, G5 based machine hands down/.Yeah there should be a revision this month.

[Sendok]

^that would make sense to have a revision. I love the iMac's power and the mini's size. I'd love to see a small headless G5, but i don't think it will happen anytime soon.

[Eidorian]

^that would make sense to have a revision. I love the iMac's power and the mini's size. I'd love to see a small headless G5, but i don't think it will happen anytime soon.It's called a Power Mac.

[Relient J]

^ I think he wants it in a Mac mini-size form factor.

Well, I finally did it. I pre-ordered Tiger using the student discount. I'm excited.

[Sendok]

"Small" and Power Mac g5 don't go together.

I'd love a g5 cube...*wishes*

Way to go Relient J! i need to order my copy soon.

[Relient J]

^ Yeah, it would be totally cool to see a return of the Cube form factor. That was one cool computer. I doubt Apple will do it though. They already have a pretty crowded product line.

[Sendok]

^yeah, but id be happy to see the eMac go bye bye and introduce that wonderful g5 cube idea.

[³¹¹]

[Sendok]

lol, either that or go from XP to server 2003...much more stable but not many games made for that version of windows so...kinda pointless for almost all here.

The campaign, which will play down technology and promote more emotional themes such as passion, celebration and enthusiasm, will be spread over various media including national television, print, online, and “out-of-home” advertising vehicles.
¿Qué?
