According to an article over on Apple Insider, unnamed sources “in attendance” say the Sunday meeting did involve an “internal unveiling” of Apple’s new Joint Venture plan, an apparently “sources” have come up with some details of this Joint Venture.
Those details are that the Joint Venture plan will be offered to small businesses when buying a new Mac and cost some $500 per year and apparently said plan will cover up to five systems, and if additional systems are to be added it will cost a further 99 bucks a year.
