	I hate to spread rumors...but, this one sounded so good that I decided
to post. And anyway, he said I could:

Subj:	RE: Loan to own?



	That particular program was stopped, but I heard from insiders 
last winter that a new program should be announced this June, along with
the new '040 machine. I heard things like no payments as long as you're
a full-time student, repayment period negotiable up to *12 years* and 
about 10 - 12% interest rates. All in all, a pretty sweet deal, but I 
haven't been able to confirm it through an outside source yet. However, the
other thing they told me, that the IIci would have an upgrade path to the 
new machine, *has* been sighted in the literature (MacWeek).  Can you guess
what my purchase plans are?  :)
	Hope it helped, and feel free to post this, 
	Jim Deane
