Cool Apple Store Black Friday Discounts--Disappointing

I had been warned by macrumors.com, but I had no idea that the Black Friday discounts on the Apple website would be so unimpressive.

No, thanks, Apple.

Disappointing considering the recent impressive performance of Apple stock.

I'll stick to my County Employee discount with Apple.

Besides, I'm waiting for that Apple Latop with flash memory. May be a long wait, but I think it's worth it for nearly instantaneous booots.

Anyone care to comment?

Be forewarned that historically, most of Apple's first-generation products tend to have some gremlins hiding inside of them. The following article goes into a little more detail.

yah, it was annoying, I can get the same discount for being a student. And what sucks is you can't combine the two discounts.

Apple's never provided serious discounts on any of their current hardware, ever, as far as I can remember. I wasn't expecting discounts this year, either.
