Greenwich High School Student Writes Steve Jobs, Gets $1300 in Free Software

November 25th, 2008 by Chris (Admin) · 1 Comment


In a gift of charity, Steve Jobs sent $1300 in professional video software to a Greenwich High School student - who already personally owns over $5000 in high-end Mac hardware - because he asked nicely.

The student had written Jobs asking if there were a way a High School Student could take advantage of the half-off discount the company offers on it’s Final Cut Studio 2 software to college students.

Two weeks later, he got the full version of the software in a box from Cupertino.

In related news, the US government has donated $20B in cash to Citigroup.

Fun facts: Greenwich High School is the alma mater of Today’s Matt Lauer, Olympic Gold Medalist Dorothy Hamill, NFL Hall Of Famer Steve Young, and Pulitzer Prize winning author Truman Capote.
