- Hey, with the deals that are out (as of Aug. 1) for all of us kids I
- want a computer!!!
- Do I buy a NEW machine, or will USED suffice for my first Macintosh?
- I am looking to max out what ever I get. I feel it would be more
- economical to buy a bare bones machine and add all of the necessity
- myself. Of course what is necessary depends on which Mac I decide on. decided)
- An LCII is the bottom of my options, and $MONEY$ limits my upper options.
- Who out there is going to sell their LCII or IIsi to finance an upgrade?
- What did you like about your machine? What would you have done different?
- Should I buy NEW or USED? What problems will I have with a PRE-OWNED Mac?
-
- Basically the situation I am in is I can buy a NEW Macintosh:
-
- LCII 4/40 12" AppleColor Monitor and Keyboard : $1,408
- LCII 4/80 12" AppleColor Monitor, Extended Keyboard and 512K VRAM : $1,668
- LCII 4/80 13" HighRes Monitor, Extended Keyboard and 512K VRAM : $1,929
- IIsi 3/40 13" HighRes Monitor, and Extended Keyboard : $2,040
- IIsi 5/80 13" HighRes Monitor, and Extended Keyboard : $2,255
-
- from my school's computer extension.
- I do not necessarily want exactly what they have to offer, that is why I
- am now in the market to find a "DEAL" I will be happy with!!!
-
- Please send any information which my be helpful to me to: -={8~)
