Great news. I hope Office Depot encourages their use for business tasks.

Cool. Office depot always has comes out with online coupons. But the real news is that Apple is starting to have more partners.

Is this an online only deal or are they going to be put into stores? Hopefully they'll be put into stores so I don't have to drive about 35 miles to Tallahassee for Apple stuff.

Looks like the full Apple lineup, not just the low-end stuff.

If it's in-store as well, I hope it works out as well as CompUSA became. My CompUSA is an great and knowledgeable Apple source. Store-within-a-store seems to work well there.

Interestingly, the site says they have 15" iMac's in stock.

Except they don't have the new Displays.

well, actually looking at the offered products, most are a revision behind:
Power Macs 1.6, 1.8 & dual 2.0, still offering the iMacs, although the powerbooks are up to speed.

I see this as a key move for Apple in the business sector, especially with small businesses. Office Depot is pretty much a small business one-stop-shop, and if they're offering Apple machines offered with the ease of purchase with an Office Depot low-apr credit line, this is a really good thing.

Yeah, if this is true, it'd make it the only place to look at a Mac for sale within 50 miles of me.

Look at that old fashioned looking half-dome with display iMac. How archaic. How out of date.

If you really want to move in the business sector it would be great to move revision behind or refurb merchendise at lower prices. Also would be a great place to sell the eMac. You could use your business line of credit and see the difference at the store.
Also a key to partnered retail sucess is keeping the pipple faced jerk off selling the apples from bashing them while they sell them. Sure they like window's they have just downloaded every piece of software they need illegally. Not really an option in business.
