There's currently a Mac Mini on the Apple refurbished store, for £329 incl VAT http://store.apple.com/uk and look for Special Deals (bottom/right) ...

It has Intel Core2Duo 2.16 GHz processor, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 8x SuperDrive (DVD and CD Rewriter) and 2GB RAM. The machine has no problems and I am asking 550 pounds for it. Please let me know if you are interested in it. Thanks. Thanks.

We don't have the budget nor - they insist - the need for anything very powerful as they just do email, Word and web browsing (my son is thankfully not as addicted to technology as I am). The machine works fine but still has 10.3.9 which is making it hard to install anything new (and his iPod nano is busted - but new ones require iTunes 8, I guess, which requires Tiger). a) is this machine worth anything now? it's 15" screen, ball-and-stick (which I still like!). But I think it will start in Os 9 if there are die-hards out there still using Photoshop 2 or whatever... (is it Framemaker that people still use in Classic?) b) how much would a used G5 iMac be worth? c) if they do get a new machine with Leopard, can I use Screen Sharing remotely without getting too complicated to install stuff for them and troubleshoot? This would be useful but I've never managed to set it up with the software available for 10.3. Just trying to work out whether to get a Mac Mini and monitor for them, or a sturdy used but younger imac. I realise I'm probably splitting hairs though - it's going to be £500 or so...! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.  To post to this group, send email to smug@googlegroups.com  To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/smug?hl=en-GB -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
