[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1563100, member: 56379"] I would say closer to $100. As "chscag" advises...keeping it to play around with would be ok...but DON'T even think about "decking it out" (other than installing a larger/cheap HD). The money you put into it will not add any value to it. It (at this point) will only ever be worth $100-$125 (and going down). Don't compare old Apple stuff to old Windows stuff. "Old Apple Stuff" is harder to use...since it is harder to find old software to run on it. It can do e-mail, web browsing, mp3's. photo viewer. Of course it will run older versions of Microsoft Office, Abobe Creative Suite, etc. You just have to find the old software to install (e-Bay). - Nick [/QUOTE]
