I hope this comes to Canada soon. I've been looking for an excuse to get Keynote, and it will be nice not having to spend CAD$80 for iDVD (esp. considering I just bought my TiBook last month).

mitchell_pgh · Jan 29, 2003, 11:39 AM

that is SUCH a deal... $14.95 is less then the Ship./Hand. of Mac OS X beta!!!

I hope this deal survives the Canadian north too!

Thanks alot for the link, I would have never looked and just ordered my copy (for my fiance of course!)...what a deal, I swear getting married to a teacher has alot of perks. She got her free copy of Jaguar within a week of ordering, I hope iLife/Keynote is the same.

Keep the great Education deals coming Apple, these are incredible.

It is also good having your mommy be one!

Footy · Jan 29, 2003, 02:54 PM

It's times like this that I'm glad my wife is a teacher.

Anand · Jan 29, 2003, 03:16 PM

This is a great deal and also holds for higher Ed. I signed up as fast as I could. Amazing.

kovacs · Jan 29, 2003, 03:40 PM

Hope this comes to Europe

Peter · Jan 29, 2003, 03:52 PM

cool! best snap that deal up when it comes to UK! (15, in high school

)

boardsurfer · Jan 29, 2003, 05:31 PM

I cant believe it. Sure is great having a Teacher in the family. That makes $300 in software for the low low price of $14.95. Thank you Apple.

tmikkelsen · Jan 29, 2003, 06:16 PM

Apple should really include full time staff in there. We use it just as often if not more than faculty. Still good to see them doing this.

$300?? iLife = $50 and Keynote = $100...

mishap · Jan 29, 2003, 06:29 PM

i still cant justify buying these products for 14.95 even though i'm tempted to buy it for the cheap price.

No need for iDVD... and any presentation stuff i would do in flash.

I think it's great that Apple did this, but you have to keep in mind they need to compete against MS and its edu site licenses. Wanna know how I much paid for Office vX? $12.95.

The only way they can penetrate this market is to be aggressive on pricing.

TeknoTurd · Jan 29, 2003, 10:39 PM

Time to call the old man for some more software

hehe

Eug · Jan 30, 2003, 09:41 AM

Still no Canadian version.

I think I'll try and reach out to some offices around the University and see what I can dig up.

Quote: Apple should really include full time staff in there. We use it just as often if not more than faculty. Still good to see them doing this.

I think that Apple considers anyone who works at a school to be on the faculty. After all, aren't we all teaching in one way or another

PS: It's very handy nowadays not only being a teacher, but also being married to one, and having lots of teaching relatives. Getting them to get discounted hardware more than once a year (should I be able to afford it) can be a handy thing!

What do you mean by "reach out"?

I'd be interested in what you're able to find out.

Yeah including Jaguar. Even so I was a little excited - it is really only $280. But I am not complaining

Where in the hell did you get Office vX for that price???? I am a teacher and have never seen it that cheap!

On a second thought, has anyone who has ordered the package for $14.95 got a shipping notice yet? Just wondering, as I am a teacher and ordered it, but the credit card is in my wife's name so I was wondering if it has been processed at all. Got my order number from Apple, but no confirmation on it being sent out yet, just wondering if anyone has gottne a confirmation of shipment.
Thanks

Volume Licensing of Office v. X I've seen at $12.95 basically/piece....however, not an individual price for faculty. Maybe the other person was confused.

And no confirmation yet...it will take a day or so I am sure.

Eug · Jan 30, 2003, 04:58 PM

Yeah, I paid something like $70 for my copy of Office. Site licence or volume licence - can't remember which our university has. Some schools with site licences just charge the cost of the media. ie. $5.

SwarmyCurve · Jan 31, 2003, 01:26 AM

This is a wonderful deal. Its a great perk to have a teachin' mother. My powerbook was like $300 off or something, and now this is about $135 off. I'm glad I didn't order iLife on amazon.com like I was going to!

I have a semi-related question: What is the X for Teachers package like? I have Jaguar and all, but apparently you get a cd with "over 80 quicktime demo clips" which would be good to show people who ask me how to do certain things... Did anyone get X for teachers?

Anand · Feb 11, 2003, 05:59 PM

Has anybody received iLife for 14.95?

A friend of mine (a teacher) ordered iLife before they announced the discount for teachers. He called Apple and they just credited him the difference and sent him a copy of Keynote.

MountainMac · Feb 11, 2003, 08:01 PM

So it includes a copy of Jaguar as well?

MM

boardsurfer · Feb 11, 2003, 08:22 PM

No, the Jaguar thing is a seperate promotion called X for Teachers. Iam pretty sure it has not expired. March 1st?

March 31st.

MountainMac · Feb 11, 2003, 11:23 PM

OK, that's what I figured out you were referring to after I posted. X for teachers is only available for K-12, though

SeSawaya · Feb 12, 2003, 01:55 AM

just got iLife today for the $14.95 (shipped to my school of course)

Now to INSTALL!

Consider yourself lucky. I ordered mine the same day you did, and all I got was this response:

From: <[email protected]>

Subject: RE: Re: iLife and Keynote Offer - Your order number is XXXXX

Date:

Dear Educator:

Thank you for participating in Apple's iLife and Keynote for $14.95. These powerful new tools make it even easier to integrate technology into your curriculum and enhance your classroom experience. ILife and Keynote take full advantage of the power of Mac OSX v10.2 and provide an unparalleled user experience..

Due to the overwhelming success of this offer, we are experiencing some delay fulfilling your order. We expect to have iLife and Keynote for $14.95 kits available on .

You should receive an order processed e-mail from us within two days of this date.

If that e-mail does not arrive, please alert us at [email protected]. Be sure to include your order number and delivery address.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but are confident that the short delay in getting iLife and Keynote will be well worth the wait.

As always, we appreciate your continued interest in our education products.

Sincerely,
Apple Education Marketing
iLife and Keynote for $14.95

Original message:
==========
Good morning. Please advise when my XXXXX order will ship. I understood that orders should arrive in 7 to 10 working days. I ordered a week and a half ago (on January 29), and have not received either the shipment e-mail notification or the actual delivery. I also notice that my credit card has not yet been charged. Please advise. Thank you!

As reported on the MacNN news page, notice in Apple's response how the date is missing in two places, although it says that the order will be processed within two days of the stated date.

AND they spelled it "ILife" and "OSX". I'm such a nitpicker.
