It's been a week...

...but, this is what's new.

The new 15" Apple PowerBook. The screen is just slightly bigger, and it also has an improved hinge design. The CPU is now the 1.5Ghz PPC G4, with 512MB of RAM, a DVD-R "SuperDrive" and a fast 5400rpm 80GB hard drive.

I got a great deal from the Stanford bookstore, getting the PowerBook WITH AppleCare at less than the retail price of the PowerBook alone.

I'm sort of glad that classes are over for me, it is simply too tempting to be so close to the Stanford bookstore. The store offers students incredible prices on software and hardware, with over 50% off retail prices for FinalCut Pro HD, and great discounts on other software.

I've always wondered what the difference was between going to college in Manila, and going to college here in the US. Well, the student discounts are definitely something we almost never experienced in the Philippines. Specially not for things like computer software and hardware.
