Interesting.. They make their product margins plus interest. I wonder how big their financing business is? A company I once work did this and made some major $$$$. It is also a way to get and keep customers, "One stop shopping".

Regards,
John

good observation, kenneth. i've long noted this. it is enormously important. only 2 companies have the size to do the financing, and only one of them can deploy the technology effectively and retain the brains they acquire.
