Of course a mac is not REQUIRED here since we have free access to several rooms of macs, but it sure helps :') I would NEVER EVER in a billion years buy a computer at the "recommended list price" (these prices are about two or three times higher here than similar in the USA) since I couldn't afford it. The high-charging resellers would earn nothing by limiting university discount sales, in my opinion. Hell, If I hadn't gotten my mac that cheap, I wouldn't have bought that mouse pad from them :') h+@nada.kth.se -- Life's a bitch, then you die.
