You're kidding, right? It costs Developers up to $3,500/year to be members of Apple's ADC Premier Membership and $500/year to be a ADC Select Member. $999.00 isn't all that much for *serious* developers (members willing to pay the above membership dues) to have a smoking hot machine on rental for a year. -- Shawn King Host/Executive Producer Your Mac Life http://www.yourmaclife.com
