i deal in secondhand macs
i regulary see 520 <-> 580's all in one 68k macs get passed in at auctions
as no one bids on them if someone does bid they get bought for less than $5
simarley 5000 PPC series all in ones get passed in or bought for around $10
to $50. feature for feature it seems to me make more "cents" to splurge
on a 575/580 than play with the more esoteric early 68k stuff ... imho
all amounts quoted are in oz dollars
