Same deal for us, buy a Mac and get a free (or nearly free after  
rebate) iPod. I was mean and put my foot down, smiled and handed the  
iPod to Ceandra, who was the one who didn't have one. Evil Spawn got  
the Mac Book Pro and already had an iPod, and _then_ went and changed  
his major, necessitating the purchase of gigantic scads of  
photographic equipment and getting it shipped to him.

I don't care. After all that, he's not getting the bloody new iPod on  
top of it; that would be adding insult to injury. I spent so much I  
truly toyed with the idea, briefly, of getting a new, unscratched iPod  
Touch for myself simply because the bottom-line total would not be  
significantly different from the gross national product of Australia I  
was already spending today. Oh, that $400 charge listed as "iPod"?  
That's a typo, it should say "sales tax", honey.
