[SATLUG] I Mac and Me

[Zeb Fletcher]

There are deals to be had out there. I just lost a bid for 6 iMacs on a

Look at lowendmac.com to see the going prices from resellers it should give
you an ideal what is the norm to pay for. The worst part of buying online is
shipping these suckers weight close to 50 lbs so your going to pay for them.
