No MobileMe discount? That's strange.
I am eligable to get education discout and planned to get the 2.53Ghz MBP, but it's in a weird situation for me. MacConnection is taxfree in WA, but mail-in rebate just doesn't work for me.
In less than 2 months, we have MacWorld S.F.
Why would you want to pay Apple to continue to beta test MobileVista.
They should be giving it away for free until they have all the advertised features working stable and the system is stable for more than a few hours at a time.
I got tired of not getting my mail and switched to a GMail account. Not as many features (I don't need) and it's free.
