Re: [edlug] Hardware for sale

Yes, I agree. And the "It just works" nature of the software and 
operating system as a whole is a great bonus.
At the moment i have a powerbook G4 with X.3.2 and it runs wonderfully. 
I just want a really quiet system as a server, a cube would be ideal, 
or even a late model iMac G3, they were fanless too. It needs little 
more than a big HD, provided by firewire, although a new iMac with an 
airport card would be nice too.

ps. If you start by asking more than you need you can always accept a 
more realistic figure, but it is a lot harder to bid up later.

this knowledge and not use it, according to the necessity of the cause.
