First, my apologies for the first post in the "Good Source of Used
Computers," it was a little disjointed. I use Mozilla's "Thunderbird" on my
G4 Sawtooth and it formats all emails with HTML, which the list won't
accept. So, I have to go over to Entourage to post to the list. Some things
got lost in the translation.

Regarding Craigslist...

I live in a very small town up on the continental divide in western Montana.
Total population here in the valley is 700 people. I know of one other
person on the local ISP that uses Macs - we have to be "self-supporting"
because when you say "Mac" the local ISP's eyes just kind of glaze over and
they mumble a lot. 

Anyway, that kind of limits my shopping in person for any used equipment. I
did buy a TRS-80 laptop computer, of some sort, at a yard sale the other
morning and I did get it to boot to a prompt, probably, in ROM. That's about
the extent of the local market.

Anyway, has anyone done business on Craig's List at a distance? I have
looked at some of their ads in the San Francisco list and there is some good
stuff, (and, most curiously, I even saw a couple of people trying to swap PC
laptops for PowerBooks - they are must be what you call optimists). I am
somewhat reluctant to send money without any mechanism to protect my
investment. 

Thanks in advance...

Doc
