That seems a little high. But you were the one who actually paid the bill. I just thought that 'qualified' developers could lease a system for like 1% of list. So that would be a $350,000 machine. I would think the low end i5's would be a lot less.

It was about $350/month, and a lot more expensive for the Software Subscription Screw. On Wed, 9 Jun 2004 14:37:21 -0500, rob@xxxxxxxxx said: > My cable bill is $62.60/month.
