PS-that box was shipped to Riverside/Old Greenwich...a whole level above the generic "Greenwich" breed

but to be fair Greenwich High is more of a normal school than one would expect. A high percentage of the students at the private school I work at (in NY) live in Greenwich.

it sure feels good recently moving to Greenwich (CT), bringing the demographics DOWN DOWN DOWN

I'm sure Rye Brook wasn't disappointed that I'm gone

six figure salary? HA

Own a house? HAHA

Portfolio? you get the picture...

Greenwich Ave is a beautiful place to live though.

Hello Mr. Jobs,

I have been a devoted Windows user all my life. I am seriously considering pursuing my dream of switching over to your fine Apple products. I have come to appreciate them over the years every time I get a chance to borrow a friends iBook or MacBook Pro. As you know your products are offered to students and teachers with an educational discount. Sadly I am neither and in this current harsh financial climate I fear I will never be able to realize my dream and sip from the sweet delicious Apple kool-aid.

If you could see it in your cold, black heart to give me a new MacBook Pro I will devote hours and hours of my time each day flooding message boards and blogging about the virtues of being a proud owner of a Mac. I will staunchly defend the honor of you and your company while I educate the unwashed, heathen masses, still clinging to their Microsoft powered products how wonderous and enriched their lives would be if only they switched to Apple.

Thank you.

PS. I can't wait to see what innovating and groundbreaking invention you come out with next!

"At this festive season of the year, Mr. Jobs," said the gentleman, taking up a pen, "it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices."

I know video professionals that are more hard up than this kid. Sell one of your systems (who needs an Imac and a Mac Pro?) and pay for the software...

@shamowfski: He wasn't asking for a freebie - he was just hoping for the College discount while still in High School. It's cool that Apple just gave it to him for free.

Quite a few Scrooge McDucks here at Gizmodo today.

Good thing he is headed to film school. That writing style, crappy and lacking punctuation, and disregard for proper nouns will not get him into any college I would want my kids to attend.

Kudos to Apple for seizing an opportunity for some almost free and very positive publicity.

Dear steve Jobs,

i Love apples. i love puppies. is apple going to make a puppy some day? i sure Hope so. I wouldnt mind a Kitten to. Both are expensive and hard work. ill bet a apple kitten or iCat would be more easier to use and take care of. my mom says when im grown up i can be a centaur for halloween and get a lot of candy. apple should make candy to.

bye bye,

chris, Age 9

That was very nice of them. Now if only they could develop a nonhaterade version of the apple koolaid for the anti-mac crowd here.

Where are you with this invention Mr. Jones, er Jobs when we need it most?

@Lite: But, that was seriously very cool of Apple to do. Considering the history w/ his holyness and Pixar, it doesn't seem out of place for him to support the film community. But how long until Apple ships a proprietary 3D rendering tool for use in making animated films?
