You are absolutely right about this. We have a 500 MHz DV SE iMac in my youngest daughter's bedroom that is just incredibly rock solid running OS9.1 and OS 10.2.8 on the partitioned HD and I picked it up off eBay when it was just five months old for almost EXACTLY 50% of its price when new. This is pretty well the only bargain Mac in the house except for my wife's B&W 450 G3, my other daughter's 1 GHz G4 eMac, and my own Turbo '040 enhanced NuBus 40 MHz 68040 Mac IIci, my Sonnet-powered 800 MHz G4 PCI Daystar Genesis MP 800+, a NewerTech-accelerated G3 PCI 9600, and my 1 GHz G4 iBook. Of these the most recent acquisition was the 9600, which I picked up off eBay just last month for just under $60.00, which represents about 1.4% of its $4,200.00 retail value when new. The only better deal than that was the Daystar Genesis, which I understand was about $13,000.00 when new. A fellow Mac-user rescued two of these when they were discarded two years ago by a local TV station and I got it for free. m -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
