Not a particularly good idea because (last time I looked)
the card carried a 21% APR. However, I used it to buy
my hard drive, printer and ThunderScanner two years ago
when the credit rate was a (lowly) 18% and I enriched their
coffers by a pretty penny before I paid it off. Credit is
extended under Apple's name by GECC (General Electric) and
is serviced by an Atlanta, GA address. The card is nice
and pretty, tho'. Make sure that you check that the places
where you'd want to use it accept it.

I wanted to use it at U of Maryland College Park and UMBC
and they don't accept it. Had to pay more at ComputerLand,
to boot. Good luck. Hope this helps.
