Also, if the depreciation schedules and investment tax credit (if any) are made less favorable for leasing agencies I assume that the cost of leasing will go up. Therefore, if one is concidering a lease would it be wise to do so in 1986 as opposed to 1987? Jeff Wallace {decvax,ucbvax}!trwrb!felix!jeff FileNet Corp.
