I haven't been paying close attention, but it looks like they dropped
prices a bit further for the "work" purchases, rather than decreasing
the personal discount. I know that the Mac Pro standard config has been
at $2575 for personal purchases for several months, but it is now $2491
for the "Smartpay" store.

First, let me say that I appreciate that Apple offers government

<aside>Second, let me point out that a 16" sony laptop with 3GB of RAM
and 250 GD HD costs $933. A 13" Macbook with 1GB of RAM and 120 GB HD
costs about $1100 ($1033 to fed employees). Of course the MacBook
comes with iLife and Mac OS X, but Apple needs to catch up a bit on
pricing.</aside>
Now to the subject of my memo...
Maybe I missed it, but when I recently went to the government purchase
page I noticed different pages for federal employees for work or
personal <http://www.apple.com/r/store/government/>. It appears
federal employees pay a few percent more now.
Is this new or did I just miss a change (or was it always like that?)?
