I disagree. Yikes is a fine machine if had at the right price. The ram load there is useful, the HD is tiny, but for what you describe, enough. Same with the Sawtooth, although you should bump the ram in that unit. Offer $350 for the first and be willing to negotiate to $375. Make sure monitor, KB and mouse is included. The second, because of the ram load...no more than $400, although shoot for $350 - 375. Also make sure it has a monitor, KB and HD.
Low end Mac, guys. PCI graphics is fine. It worked for years, will continue to work. It wasn't a throwback, it was a last go. on 10/10/03 11:35 PM, Glenn Schunemann at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Joe, > > Not sure about prices, but would not get Yikes G4.
