Make that 1350 Canadian and you're almost there, add a monitor at that price and maybe it might be worth it, otherwise that's still a total rip off. People, come on, 400Mhz? PCI graphics??? 1350??? 1699 = brand new 733 QuickSilver with CDrw, faster bus, bigger HDD, and better AGP graphics. And that's if you don't have access to education pricing, which would lop another 100 off that. I think 250 more for a brand new waranteed machine with double the performance is not too much to spend. The whole point of buying a used machine is to get a better deal than on a new machine. In this case the new machine is clearly the better deal. I wonder why it is so hard for some mac users to grasp the concept that computers depreciate VERY QUICKLY!
