That is the question, but I hope you guys (and gals) have some helpful hints.
So, I got some money for Christmas, and usually, as I am self employed, that money goes straight to bills and I never see any joy from it (appart from my bank looking ok for one month).
Anyway, This year I have been seriously tempted to purchase something for myself to enjoy. An iPod has been on my "I don't need it but I so want it" list.
Now, the Nano is lovely, and the silver one would go well with my MBP. However, I am a media artist, and the idea of a black 30Gb iPod would be tempting too. I am in the UK so it would be £99 for the 2Gb or £130 odd for the 4Gb nano, but no video, but the cuteness of it's size and colour (and casing). On the other hand, I could blow most of the money and get the 30Gb black iPod for £169 or so. I am well elligable for educational discount as I run Animation workshops completely run from Mac's.
On the other hand, I could buy a 1Gb card for my phone and bung it all on there, but hey, if you got a Mac, why not get an iPod right?
On the other other hand, I could try and save up for a nice 24" lcd screen for my MBP which I have wanted for oh-so-long now.
Gurrrr.
Or I could pop the money in the bank and wait for January 8th to see what is new.
Basically, has anyone in the UK bought an iPod on educational discount? and how much did you get off? (I still have to register)
What should I do? what should I do? answers on a postcard please!
ps. failing a postcard, the message board will do fine
