I promise that I will give you all the free advertising that I can muster.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously though, it is pretty wrong of Gabe to post that crap on the main site.  There are a lot of people out there lusting for this hardware right now (I don&#8217;t know if I am lusting really, but anyway) and it sucks that no one else is going to get that discount.  It isn&#8217;t really Gabe&#8217;s fault that he gets the discount, but it is preferential treatment and he might have wanted to keep that to himself.<\/p>\n<p>Also in the interest of full disclosure, I can get a small discount on getting one of their machines, through the school.
