Well people have already give you a lot of ideas. They have however
perhaps missed the fact that you have a .de address. This likely means
you are in Germany. I as an American have no idea what Mac prices are
like in your country. The price noted in US Dollars is more then the
machine is selling for in the USA by a lot. Also people are missing the
fact that most mail order houses in the US do not ship to other
countries and if they do the added taxes may well kill the deal. So I
would say you need to balance what a newer machine would cost in your
country with what the used 9600 machine will cost you. The 9600 is one
of the very best of the old World machines if not the best. There are
issues with many G4 upgrades not working correctly in this machine. All
machines have issues and that is the only one that comes to mind with
the 9600. Will S
