I am a developer, and I called Apple Commercial Credit almost immediately 
after receiving this information (about the leasing program).  They gave me
another number to call to get the exact terms of the program.  When I called,
the person on the phone indicated that this was a _standard_ leasing program,
and there was not a discount to Apple developers, only that Apple had made
the program _available_ to developers.  What's going on?  Have the prices
changed?  I had thought the program would have been good, but I would have
ended up paying more per month for the leasing program than if I took out
a loan and _bought_ a computer (which I did, by the way).

Thanks,

Joe
