Also how much could you sell them for where you are located? Soon the early G4s will be foder for freecycle groups. Someone gave me a G3 in December.

But then " low cost " is a quite relative term. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer [email protected] http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com /in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ http://twitter.com/FluxStringer http://mog.com/FluxMuse -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
