Apple doesn't offer student discounts to anyone below college. Not something I'm particularly happy about.Originally posted by raptorhigh
If you are 14, I assume you are in school. Check to see if apple offers you a discount, in a lot of cases you can get panther for about $70.
Apple has teacher discounts for K through 12 schools, but not student discounts. Student discounts are only available for college students.Originally posted by raptorhigh
I was able to get a discount through my high school on Apple's Education Store. But, it seems like it only works if your school is registered.

My school (Oak Park River Forest High School) is registered with Apple. But there's no discount for students.Originally posted by bousozoku
I'm sure that's quite a surprise to a few students who've already bought Panther for $69 and have it running.
Maybe you should talk to your school's administration to have them register with Apple.
Truth be told, Apple doesn't get too picky over who takes a student discount, and they've got no way of being sure whether or not you actually qualify if you buy from the webstore. That said, only "higher education" students qualify for the discount.From The Apple Store for Education:
The following education individuals are eligible to purchase through the Apple Store for Education individuals:
- Employee of public or private K-12 institutions in the United States
- School Board members who are currently serving as elected or appointed members
- PTA or PTO executives currently serving as elected or appointed officers
- Qualified homeschools
- Employee of a public or private, profit or non-profit preschool

Don't upgrade, obviously it is not a finished piece of software as they give you the option to submit bug reports to Apple. Quite a few of my Prefs seem to be corrupting every so often, Keychain is pretty screwed I believe this is something to do with Filevault which I have now turned off. Still Mail crashes upon opening and it's just not on, not when I paid over £60 for this and its not a makor upgrade in terms of featues although it is faster especially on Startup.
If anyone knows of any fixes to the Filevault related problems except sit tight and hope Apple can fix it it would be great if you could let me know.

So what can I do now then?Still, these problems should simply not exist as I did not alter the default install at all. I do not want to have to wipe my disk and start again as I will have to go through backing up all my work and apps and I simply do not have time
