Why should he lie? I believe him and eagerly await my son's dispatch advice.

I'm not being negative, in fact I feel really positive about this deal :j It's just that a quick cut & paste would satisfy a lot of people & it would only take a few seconds. After 40 minutes there's still no real confirmation that anyone has a despatch notification email (or screen-grab of the web page).

Hmm...has anyone got any communication yet from this?

I'm hoping that Apple are checking to weed out the non-students! Then you never know, they may just honour this for the genuine students out there!

Either that or they are being very slow with the cancellation emails!

lets hope so as i would like this cam its these people from ebay that always have to spoil it with making a fast buck

What I mean is that the term "views" refers to how many times a page has been viewed - not the number of individual viewers

So that we don't get bogged down here wondering what it means, I have asked:

have to alugh at these sad people who actually have listed them on ebay already, and if they dont get them, what are they going to do? lol

i did order two yes... one for myself and one for my lecturer as I know she was in the market for new camera.. and if this comes off, it may be easier to get a 1st than I first thought

So how many people that ordered are genuine students? I wonder if this situation will make Apple reconsider the way its education store works - which would be a real shame.

as far as i can remember?

i think if you order from the apple education site you can only order 1 of the same item per year per account holder?

@bad-head -day
I agree - seems strange that no one else has a confirmation since spongebobsquarepants posted an hour ago.

Don't get me wrong - I hope he gets his. As long as he's a student and not an ebayer :santa2:

But there's no point everyone getting aggravated – just have a few beers tomorrow night whether you get a camera or not.
Don't let it ruin your new year - that's not a good start to 2006!

so for example 1 powerbook only each year,1 imac each year etcetc.....
