WOW! Thanks for all the quick replies. If it helps, I live in Victoria BC. Over here, choices are very limited, and the dealers know that. There is a 30 day warranty on it too. I'm getting this from Restart Computer. I bought my Powerbook there too. Really nice guys. My budget is CAD$800.00 before tax. If anyone can point me in the direction of a better machine, I would be ever so grateful. My time is limited. I need something by the end of next week latest. I'm rather scared of Ebay...
