Students!

[drathzel]

hiya

I am looking to buy a mac (ssshh):blush: and have been told that students get a discount! Was wondering if someone who is a student could check how much of a discount they would get, to see if it is worth my while finding a studenty friend who could help! you need to have a valid student card and input the number!

The standard 12" iBook, which is £699 for normal punters, would cost £656.83 if you were a student...

Want any other prices?

Apple are a little more careful... you need to be...

a student with a valid student card or a teacher, lecturer, tutor or other supervisor of students at a UK education establishment. ...and you might need to prove it.

[ducasi]

what about with an 80g hard drive?:flower: £722.86

[drathzel]

£722.86


60GIG?

[ducasi]

60GIG? £685.26

[drathzel]

£685.26

so what way does it work! can the student order it but it be paid by someone else and delivered to the card holders address? :confused:

[ducasi]

so what way does it work! can the student order it but it be paid by someone else and delivered to the card holders address? :confused: That I don't know...

I'd guess a mostly-legit way forward would be to pretend to be a parent/friend/guardian buying it for a student. If they ask for proof, you'll need to find a student though... :nice:

Try calling the Education Apple Store on this number: 0800 039 1010

I'm very glad to hear it :hug:

[ducasi]

can you get msn on mac?:hug: Yep, you can download it from Microsoft, or it will come with Office.

Alternatively you can use a program like [url=http://www.adiumx.com/]Adium[/quote] which can do MSN, AIM, ICQ, and most other IM things. :)

[ducasi]

can you get the smilie doofers? as i know some dont have them Adium has lots of smilies. Not sure if it has all the ones newer versions of MSN supports, but it has enough for me... :)

You're welcome try try some out on me... ducasi@hotmail.com

[Dreadful Scathe]

yes you can :D just make sure when you're downloading it that you click on the msn for mac option :whistle:


aaah - if you use a MAC at least have the common decency not to use Micro$oft software ;) The best IM client - Ive heard anyway - is Fire - download and read about it here (http://fire.sourceforge.net/) but GAIM and PSI are also available.


edit : just noticed ducasis post... hadnt heard of adium!

Re buying from Apple for students.

I've bought a 17 inch powerbook & iPod for our student son without any bother about Apple checking the item was actually for him (they really were though in this case)

I've tried Fire and Adium, there isn't much difference between the two really, I think it comes down to personal preferences.
