Does anyone know if 000 was the first machine off the line or was it 001? pickle's code says that Jeff's new plus was the 2779th machine completed. 2*36^2 + 5*36^1 + 7*36^0 = 2779 but if 000 was the first, then I think that Jeff's machine is number 2780. Just a bit of trivia which caught my fancy. ;-) Devin -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
