Interesting, I wonder what kind of discount BestBuy employees are getting on these. BestBuy usually gives really steep discounts to their employees, and I've got a friend who works at the one in town...

<strong>Heh, the minute I start complaining, they add the iPod to the online store. Woot.</strong><hr></blockquote>
not really. more the day after.
<strong>No offense to your friend and all, but from my experience, there's a double-digit maximum IQ for employees at the Savannah Best Buy. If you want an iPod that badly walk the 30 yards over to the Apple reseller and ask for the educational discount.

lol, non taken, he's not that close a friend. more like a "hey, he gets big discounts off cool stuff" friend. It's definitely not known for its customer service, and it only got worse once all the old managers got fired and the army rangers took over.
As for AIS, eh. I only go there when I feel the need to get insulted. Everything third-party is ludicrously overpriced, and the selection is severely limited. The people in there can be kinda snotty, too. They had a battery labelled for use with lombard powerbooks, and when I asked if it would work with my Pismo (which, I knew it should have) the dude at the counter got all "Nick Burns Computer Guy" on me and was all like "well, duh, of course it will, they're basically like the same machine, duh."
Okay, thanks for the help, I'll just got buy it online for half of what you want for it, biotch.
Really really really wish we'd get an apple store here, soon!
ciao,
