    Wait until you ditch OS X and install Linux... you will need tissues and moisturiser.

    Of course it will. After all, Apple told you for years that their machines were so expensive because PPC was infinitely superior to x86.

    I've never really understood the student discount thing. If they can afford to sell things significantly cheaper than full retail, why not just apply it across the board?

    I just can't separate that from price discrimination against those not in school.

    Ooh, wait.
    1) Create fake school.
    2) ???
    3) PROFIT

    ...you at least get the impression that you have been deprioritised, locked-in, monopolized and possibly screwed by someone with some sort of vision making an intelligent and possibly risky effort to turn out a better product rather than a committee of PHBs and marketdroids taking input from a focus group. So where Microsoft is merely an evil corporation, Apple is a cult.

    In Canada mine comes up as $115 for the student edition. So that's what, like $200 in US currency?
