Is there a list anywhere that states what system was shipped with a particular model? 7300 and 4400 are of particular interest to me. > Another cheap source of legal software is relatives and friends who have > unwisely purchased stuff that's too much for them.

Some vendors stock old out of date versions at knock down prices. I've bought early unused versions of several popular applications quite cheaply, registered them, and then bought an upgrade - for less money in total than buying the latest outright. However if you do go this route, check that the version on offer is still upgradeable. Some softare houses will now only upgrade from a couple of versions back.
