That's because unfortunately, it's never been offered. You can, however, get it for $69 for the first year w/ the purchase of any new Mac, including ADC purchased Macs, if I recall correctly.

Lol it seems like you asked two different questions. As for getting it as part of the student enrollment, no. You definitely don't get it with that.

I personally think you should get a free .mac account w/ ADC, I mean it's a simple and universal way for developers to upload code(s) to their iDisk and let other developers access them quickly and edit/work on them.

Heh... $69 for a .Mac membership is a drop in the bucket compared to what you guys saved by getting the ADC discount on your new 17" PowerBooks.

there's a free trial for .mac on their website. I plan on hooking up to that when I get my powerbook.

Besides... if you're a developer, there's an extremely high probability that you have access to your own webspace to start out with.

I was just curious due to the fact that it was not an option, even though they did have the section where you could choose it, on the page.
