What, the white MacBooks? To be honest, I'm surprised they discounted those at all. Anything under $1,000 has traditionally been "off limits" as far as qualifiying for Apple's promos, like the free iPod or CS discounts or whatever. (See: Mac mini, eMac, 17" "edu" iMac...)

But it's a nice precedent. Hopefully, the white MacBooks (should they continue to exist) will be included in the 2009 iPod promo, as well. A MacBook (with SuperDrive!) and a purple iPod nano for $949? Well, I know what I'm saving my "fun money" for (now that I just blew it all on a vacuum cleaner ).

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
