Mac w/Free Nano - Purchased just before the deal was announced
I picked up my new MacBook with my educational discount right before they announced the free Nano bit, and now I'm kicking myself. My receipt falls just short of the June 5th date. If I were to send in for the free Nano anyway, do you think they'd accept my paperwork?
Knowing Apple.... nope. They are quite hard line on offers and dates I have found.
Example, we missed the postmark date on the $99 Final Cut Studio Universal Binary upgrade by two days due to mix up in our offices mail room. Apple would not budge on giving us the deal, it was pay $599 or nothing. What was more annoying was getting that answer after spending $50K on upgrading our seats to intel macs from powerPC ones - then being told that in order to get the best out of the software on the intel chips it would cost an additional $6K instead of $1K... I got it all the way up apples food chain to still get the same response.
