"CompUSA has lower prices on Apple stuff than their developer's program?" They're just about the same, but . . . When you deal with the Apple Developer's Program for merchandise, you have to prepay in full . . . and your orders have the absolute *lowest* priority, there is no way to check on your order status and there is no right of return. You can get stuck – and lots of people have – with several thousand dollars tied up for merchandise that doesn't ship for months. It isn't worth it. I finally dropped my subscription to the Apple Developer's Program last year. There just wasn't enough in it to justify the continually rising fees. If you need the code resources, you can subscribe to the CD-ROM series alone for about a hundred a year.
