Hello Muddah,

Hello Fadduh,

Gimme $1,997 for a MacBook

In an attempt to create new Mac addicts early, Apple stores will be offering 2.5-hour day camps for children ages 8 to 17.

Four free sessions will be offered: Podcast workshop, iWeb workshop, Music Workshop and Movie Workshop. Campers who participate get a CD or DVD with their projects burned onto it, a t-shirt, patch, field journal, field guide, bumper sticker, name tag and a certificate of achievement. OK, we need to forge a birth certificate so we can sneak in.

And while the sessions are technically free, in the end, Apple Camp may end up being more expensive for parents than sleep-away camp.
