The first step is to qualify for Apple credit. Once you're approved you take home the system that you've qualified for. If you don't want to keep it you return the system to the dealer, I think sometime in January, and you never see the charge on your Apple credit. I think one reason for this program is the sluggish PC market of late. The machines used for this free run can probably be counted as sales for the fourth quarter and may make the operating results look a little better. Of course when the next quarter rolls around some adjustment will probably have to be made, but a good accountant should be able to hide it somewhere.
