Under the UMCP Computer Emporium rules, one is permitted to buy 1 Apple CPU every 24 months, and after owning the unit for 24 months, you can re-sell it to anyone. I suspect that the one cpu rule at Purdue applies only to Purdue (is not mandated by Apple), so you shouldn't have any problem at CMU. Or maybe UMCP is special.... but I doubt it. -- Matthew T.
