Thanks, Steven. Those are indeed some good deals. Bummer. I've pretty much committed to the guy selling me the mini at this point. I realize it's not up to the specs of those capabilities you describe, so I may regret it. But hey, I can resell it to someone and move up when I'm ready. Thanks for the education, folks. :-) Hope others benefit. /charlie

Ebay also has some killer deals, there is a store that sells less than perfect machines (out of atlanta - http://stores.ebay.com/PartsBuffet )... just make sure you get a core 2 duo box as it supports more than 2gb of memory. I'm currently stuck at 2gb and it needs more to run jrun, vmware, CS3 at the same time. -=Steven On Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 8:02 AM, Dean H.

Yes, my intended use would have no load at all. It's just for my own demonstration purposes, at least initially. I have some questions I'll offer off-list. In the meantime, I may still be interested in having a real machine of my own, if anyone else has any to offer. /charlie _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derrick Peavy Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 7:40 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF on a Mac--anyone have a system they want to sell?

So while I've used a Mac I've not yet run CF on it and want to get some experience with it over the next couple of weeks. So does anyone here have one (whether a mini, a laptop, a desktop, or a server) that they may want to sell at a reasonable price? I'm not looking to run it in production, so no need for it to be especially powerful, or even perfectly functioning. I've got one offer for a mini that I could pick up prior to tomorrow night's meeting (which if you haven't seen the announcements, will include both prizes and an important Adobe announcement). I'm assuming I can run CF on any Mac (any of the models, and whether Intel or not), as long as it's a G4 or above and OS 10 or above. If anyone has thoughts that I might want to consider as I contemplate running it on something like a mini, feel free to chime in. Most important, if anyone has a system they'd like to have me consider, feel free to drop me a note at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or feel free to call me at 678 358 3046, before tomorrow afternoon.
