I'm not very familiar with the business discounts, but the HEPP program for higher education gives great discounts and is a good way to buy your equipment. Secondly, and again speaking from the school perspective (although I would hope that it would be true of the business market as well), Macs have far more level learning curves and create output that is superior to any other platform for the money you pay. I guess what I'm saying in a nutshell is that you are going to have to be an evangelist and "enlighten" the masses. Tell them that computer novices prefer Macs over cheap clones! Tell them that they are the easiest computer to network! Tell them, tell them, and sell them! Good luck... Blake "Hey, where's *MY* fancy signature?" Sobiloff sobiloff@thor.acc.stolaf.edu
