FSU Signs Deal With Apple
Wow. Now I just need to transfer down to Florida State University, and I can get myself a free copy of iTunes, along with the option to buy songs from the iTunes Music Store for just $0.99 per track!
What an amazing stroke of contractual genius on the part of FSU, making these otherwise unavailable tools available for their students. Oh. Wait a minute… Looks like Apple must have signed similar deals with The Rest Of The World, because I just found both iTunes (whoah - even with a download link) and the iTMS available for the rest of us as well! Looks like I won’t have to sell the house and pack up the family to move to Florida after all…
And yes, for the sarcastically impaired - I’ve been using iTunes since before it was iTunes (bought SoundJam long before Apple bought them…), and I’m just waiting for the iTMS to come into Canada so I can get a second mortgage on my house to pay for my music fixes…
Seems like there are all kinds of incentives for students: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/07/0154251
So, if I register at Duke, and paid the $50K tuition, or whatever it is for Canadians, I get a free iPod. Going to talk to my wife about it.

If they’re giving out minis, that may be the fastest way to get your mitts on one
