Thanks, Ed. Do the refurb machines come with "any" version of OS-X?
Are Mac OS's restricted for use on one machine like MS OS's are?

Gerry,
A *refurbished* machine from Apple, or an Apple licensed distributor is
going to come with an OS, and most likely a single disc install set. A used
machine is a situation that you have to ask. It may or may not come with OS,
may or may not come with a disc.
The *license* of the Mac OS states that you may only install the OS on a
single machine at a time per purchased license. However, unlike Microsoft,
there are no install keys for the *Client* OS and as such, you can install
it as many times as needed. Just be aware that you are not in compliance
with the license you agreed to, etc, etc.

Not having to fiddle with a "key" is big plus. Had to go round and round
with Dell because they sent me the wrong disc "and" the wrong key.
Getting an OS with a refurb machine is also a plus IMO.
Just happened to think that my son-in-laws good friend and regular
fishing buddy has a good sized business of salvaging used computers
from businesses and institutions. Since Macs are not a are large part
of the installed computer base, he probably doesn't get too many
Macs; but it might be worth checking with him. I know that he does
salvage and sell some usable PCs.
Thanks,
Gerry
