I think its the student developer discount. It's a $99 yearly membership fee, and you get a heavy discount on computers... only like once though, heh.

so you have to pay a fee to get the discount.....in which case once you pay it then you probably wont be saving much more the the regular student discount.....I knew there was a catch

On the "i" line the discount is ok (if you are a student, you will usually at least save the $99 you paid and probably a little more), but man, on the "power" line, it is totally worth it. I remember when the superdrive Ti came out, the top of the line was $3000 and Apple was offering the double your ram for free upgrade - I configured a 1 ghz superdrive Ti with 1 gig of ram that was $2300 at the developer store. Totally awesome.

I think for non-students, you can pay $600 to join the developer connection and get the discounts too, and I think that you can use it more than once (I'm not totally positive though).

WOW...thats sounds good since im looking to get somthing in the "power" line......

bentmywookie .....do you have any links where i can find more info about this ?

They require you to open a "business" and request free product samples. It's lame.
