Apple extends iPhoto book/calendar discounts

This promotion was set to expire on February 29, 2008; However, according to Macworld, Apple has extended this promotion until March 7 (giving you a couple extra days to stock up on calendars and photo books). A recent thread on the Apple Discussions board prompted Apple to extend the promotion due to errors that users were experiencing during checkout.

The codes for North American users are:

NAWinterBook08 for books
NAWinterCal08 for calendars

We haven’t heard if this extended promotion applies to UK users or not, however, if you would like to try, the codes for the UK books / calendar are: EUWinterCal08 and EUWinterBook08.

According to the Typical Mac User Podcast blog, the Hitachi hard drive isn’t necessarily rated for “server-grade.”
