I seem to have done a really poor job wording my request, and while I
thank the people who responded to me about the ethics of misusing the
student discount, I was interested in the *alternatives* to the
student discount that came up as a result of recent ethical
discussions  that I mentioned in my original post.

  I personally used my student discount while I was still a student
8), but have several friends who are alumni and who didn't have the
cash at the time.  They are now seeking other discount dealers, and I
remembered (perhaps incorrectly) a few people mentioning these types
of things.  What stuck in my head was someone saying, 'There's no need
to ever pay retail for a mac' or some such thing...
