Thanks, Ron. This particular one up for grabs is a refurb from a guy or a company who sells quite a few pcs (and apples?) and it is a G4/800mhz/30gig/640mb/ComboDrive and No OS, supposedly checked out by their techs and in "good working condition," so if an OS costs about $100, then using your figures, it should be $400-$600 max. And they are saying $30 for FEDEX, which is all they use. I did think $30 was a bit much for S&H. A few weeks ago I did start out by looking at the brand new ibooks but thought if I could cut the price in half with a refurb or used, I'd rather go that route than jack up the credit card. ;-) /G -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
