I have several friends who, despite having graduated years ago, still present their frayed and faded college IDs to save a buck on movie tickets. I can't do that. Even though i'm technically still a student, i feel embarrassed to be using the discount and generally don't. Even though i am in school, it seems like i should be done by now. Perhaps it's the same type of experience when you find out you are old enough to qualify for the senior discount; that's can't be a fun thing.
I did, however, make an exception to this rule. I decided to take advantage of the Apple Student Developer program. Here's the deal: a yearly membership costs $99. Membership includes monthly mailings of software updates and technical resources. In addition, you get a one-time-only discount on hardware. Seeing as how i need to get a new machine of my own, the savings will come in handy. It will more than make up for the cost of the program. The folks at Apple even though in a semi-spiffy Tiger t-shirt.
Currently my schedule doesn't allow me a whole lot of time to play around with code at home. I'm hoping that actually shelling out some cash will help motivate me to find the extra time to actually make something fun. A new machine and a DVD full of technical resources might just do the trick.
