Good one!

I'm guessing you recall that thread from (almost exactly) 7 years ago?

Actually, I was laughing at the idea that _any_ Mac is worth what you
paid for it new. :)
The way to buy Macs is refurb/used. Will save a fortune, and you get the
same great hardware.

I can attest to that! Bought my Mac-Pro off E-Bay almost 2 years ago for
$650 + shipping. It's a first generation Intel (2006), and runs
everything I can throw at it, plus Windows XP Pro in a virtual machine
on a second screen for stuff that just won't work on OSX. I have had
pretty much *zero* problems with it, and compared to all the windoze
boxes I've owned, that's saying a lot! Only thing I've done is add a
couple extra drives and more memory. With a pair of Intel Xeon
dual-cores at 2.0 Ghz, it's pretty snappy. ;)
