A recent acquisition of mine was an ADC Student Membership. For US$99 a year you get things shipped to your door¹, free OS updates and a one-time massive hardware discount. I mean massive. The kind that makes all other discounts pale by comparison. Over $500 for a fully-loaded Pro device, for example.

The membership price is sufficient to cover the price of Mac OS X Leopard, however, so everything else is just a very, very sweet bonus on top of that. Can’t wait for my copy to ship, sometime not soon enough.

Thanks to Monospaced for the info.
