Fair enough. You also have to be willing to wait for a good deal on a
refurb, I just happen to have had good timing in the past...

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,
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.
Save a few hundred bucks to put into RAM, drives, etc.

Well thanks very much, Derrick. 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:
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!!!
Otherwise, if you want a hand, happy to pick up a used one for you
and configure as a favor (the configuration that is).

Hey folks, I have a client asking me to help them with moving from
running
CF on Windows to running it on a Mac, and I've toyed with getting
one to
help with some software we also use at church. 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. Thanks.
