"Where's the cheapest place to buy an Ipod in the USA?"

As a Brit I dunno, but as I'm visiting and my auntie has a house there I can order one to be delivered or buy when I'm there. So where's the cheapest place?

I dunno, Xp hasn't crashed once on me (ironically it was only Firefox that has recorded the mmost program crashes). And as for cooler well, you can get any better then be able to write on the screen direct.

wallmart. Apparantly. Well ive heard they are chaper there in Canada. So im presuming they are the same in the US

The fact that they are more stable and reliable as well as far cooler AND liked by women, may however give them good reason to buy an Apple laptop.

There's more, on trying to attract CS students:

"Close it, it sleeps. Open it, it awakens immediately. As a computer scientist, you’re probably wondering the same thing we are: Why hasn’t anyone else figured this out?"

Whoever wrote that are idiots, no CS student is going to take that in as an excuse to buy a Mac.

Quote from their site, STUDENT SECTION:

"Think you can do all that with a Windows PC? Think again."

Big fat lie.

Now you have to access the site from your uni network to get the educational discount.

There is an educational store on the apple website, just fill in the name of your uni and the city. When I ordered mine they asked for no proof.
Just fill in the box that says what you'll use it for as 'educational'
Gets you a 10% discount I believe.

Even better right now if you know anyone who is going to buy an apple computer online as there is a deal on which would save quite a bit.

I think the price is pretty much the same anywhere you buy it so the US apple stores will no doubt be much the same as other places in the US that sell them.
Just hope that the exchange rate is good when you go :-P

I go to a 6th form College not a Uni ... But I'm applying for a NUS card.

Cheers for the sites and advice.

I just used the store locator on apple.com and found the nearest place to me when I was in Florida. Cost about £160 for a 20GB iPod :)

you don't even need an nus. just call them up and say you are a student, give them your uni email that should be confirmation enough otherwise you can fax or email any document from the uni with your name on it. Most of the time just say it and they'll trust you
