RE: Discount
LOL ... Sorry, no can do that. Here's a hint on how I got some of my other drives though:
I wrote reviews for various Mac sites and/or user group newsletters. (Most recently was the Reviews Editor at MacNN.com.)
Often manufacturers let you keep a product you review; some sites have policies against that, others do not. So, offer to write a review for one of the Mac sites and have them request a product for you. Most drive companies don't let you just keep the product, but will accord you a press discount. (Oh, it helps if you submit an article to the site, so they can see your writing.)
That's how I became a writer.... to get needed software for my growing son. What's that saying... Necessity is the mother of invention!! ;-)
