Rush on iLife '06 at the Apple Store

I stopped by the San Francisco Apple Store last night to pick up a copy of iLife '06. There was a serious line at the cash register, and everybody seemed to be buying iLife. My friend tried to get the Family Pack and was told it was sold out. The moral -- if you want a copy of iLife right away and can't wait for shipping from the online store, get to your local Apple Store quick. Granted there's probably a higher demand in San Francisco right now than elsewhere, but once people catch on to how cool the new version of iLife is, there could be a run at other Apple Stores too.

The only thing that bummed me out is that the San Francisco store wouldn't honor the $59 education price available on the Apple Education site. So I had to fork out the full $79, which, to be honest, isn't bad given the number and quality of apps in iLife '06.

That's insane. I was lucky enough to get my copy yesterday at around 3 my time (Chicago)... it was the last copy though. At least... that's what they told me.

Why did I think think this was gonna be a link to a random bit of comments from Rush Limbaugh about iLife?

Well, the initial reports about iLife seem to be quite mixed especially with regards to iWeb which was the most appealing part of the package for me, so I'm not sure people will be catching on to how "cool" the app is any time soon.

This news entry seems like it could have been written by someone in the Apple PR department.

But they DO offer corporate partner discounts at the stores.

Apple has never offered EDU discounts at retail locations on software, only hardware.
