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! tedd ___________________________________________________________________ <mailto:tedd@...> http://sperling.com/
