Now they don't check if you enrolled in a computer programming class. I took only one dessertation class and got approved
Thanks for the eBay idea. I am looking for ways to get $99 back too. Did you sell the OS copies that come with the computer or the OS copies that were released afterward?

ADC membership rocks because they send u all the newest OS they release for free..

(I sold all those OS copies on eBay and got my 99 dollars membership fee back easily)

plus they send you calender and stuff.

pretty cool!

but i think they actually verify that you are enrolled in a computer programming class now. YMMV.

recently Amazon had the mighty mouse, a kensington bag and a canon printer for FAR.

Perhaps this is even better, since the educational price of the low end MacBook is 1799.

I agree. The high-end one is worth paying extra (~$200 for 1.83GHz,better graphic card, faster HD). I actually only want 7200HD but Apple charges $160 instead of $80 for the 1.67GHz system.
However, it looks like one is able to order via the Develop store without signing up for ADC membership. IF it goes through, that would really sweeten the deal.

care to explain?

In regards to what? Apple computers, or the ADC store without a membership?

I'm guessing the latter. I know Apple used to verify any ADC purchases, especially those with Student ADC kits. Whether they still do now, I'm unsure.

i'm planning to buy the macbook pro and i swear that crucial 1GB ram shoot up in price like $50..

i'm totally noob to Mac, so anyone know if the RAM at outpost.com (DDR2 PC2-4200) would work in the Macbook (DDR2 PC2-5300 ). thank you

I got an email saying there's a problem with my order. No ADC membership that is. So it's safe to say that you have to pay for the membership for the order to go through.

Where is the printer deal? On the ADC store?

ADC purchases are exempt from rebates. Green for the op, been lookin' at gettin' one of those.

I don't remember if this had been said.. but get the machine from ADC Store, and the Applecare agreement from the Student Store.

how much is the applecare from the student store? is it significantly lower than the retail?
