Hi, George.
Thanks for the info on batteries. About the rest--I can explain. > $1266!? or is that $126? for $1200 you could get a > refurbished G4; hope you didn't spend that on hardware; > memory for $60, Sonnet card for $230... > > George Not to worry. You nailed the hardware prices (battery not included). Most of the $1200 went to upgrade software that I haven't been able to use since I switched from 8.0 to 9.1: I had been using Norton Utilities 4.1, TypeStyler 2, Spring Cleaning 1.0.1, and two outmoded virus programs. I've also ordered Virtual PC (which requires the G3 or G4 that I haven't had). And there were two others that I won't mention because one of them slips my mind and the other is rather controversial and costs $479. Nothing from Microsoft; my first Mac was the 512K Fat Mac in 1985, and since then I've never used anything at all from Microsoft and I never will. Matter of principle. Not a nickel of tribute. Hence the need for Virtual PC.
