That makes sense. Locally, I browse the local university (GO STATE) salvage
yard for Mac's and Mac parts. I can put together a pretty decent Mac system
for under $100. I've done three thus far and have given them away to old
folks (older than me) who want to surf the net. Also, I can get parts
really cheap. For example, my MacIIfx went down and I needed parts -- so I
picked up three MacIIfx's CPU's with case, motherboard, RAM, floppy drive,
and power pack for less than ten bucks total!
