Thanks, Dean, but I could have sworn I mentioned that I'd checked there already. I see now I did not (but had in some private notes with others). Anyway, thanks for the hint for others. Sadly, the store had no substantial discounts when I checked a couple of times over the last 2 days. Well, let me put it another way: they had a mini, for instance, for about 500, which was about 25-30% off retail. But I had found one on Craigslist as well, that was less and it included both the keyboard, mouse, and a 19" HD-capable monitor. I realize the store would have warrantees and all, but I decided to go with the lower cost (riskier private sale) option given that I'm not looking for a production machine. /charlie

Charlie, I don't have one to offer, but I will offer up that you can get the best deals by buying a refurbished Mac from the Apple Store online.

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: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF on a Mac--anyone have a system they want to sell? Charlie: I could do some hosting for you as a favor if the load is low. As you know, running BD on an X Serve, very good results, very happy - thanks to your help over the years too!!!

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.
