Thanks for the info. I'll have to wait and see what I get. The Mac is
a "second" machine for my room, so I probaby will only get something
that was deemed too old to be someone's "primary" computer. But, even
if I can only run 1.4 on it, that will help immensely. Very little
that I do requires 1.5, but a lot of it requires 1.4.
